Maybe I am just a freak. I don't know, but I HATE sleep. I don't enjoy it, I think it's a waste of time. But me fighting something that my body needs, and is completely natural, is pretty pointless too.
Last night I stayed up, started working and adding to my online radio account (jango.com). I started this at 1130pm. Tweeted some, then started editing the first few pages of my book. I can't NOT edit.. it bugs me if it's not somewhat edited. Will never be perfectly edited, and will never be remotely close. Wow seems like a futile effort. I was up until past 2AM, then up at 7 to get my son to school, then home to start cleaning the house.
In those 5 hours of sleep I had the BEST dream, about the characters in my head. Is that weird that I have characters in my head? I feel like I am talking about the voices in my head... bring on the padded white room!
I have a name for my character, a person I knew WAY back a long time ago and had since forgotten. BAM, in my dream the name and person appears. I didn't know this person well, so the character took form and is pretty much fictional. Strangest dream, but I was HAPPY in the dream therefore woke up tired, but happy and ready to write.
Unfortunately cleaning the house and me sitting here blogging has taken much of my morning.
I have been hoping for a dream to hit me to make some things clearer to me.
Anyway, boring to you, but I'm happy I have energy to write...when I have a moment. lol
My daughter is playing with Play Doh I dug out this morning. New play things are a great distraction when I need some time. ;)

Not enough free time to write.
I want to have things to write about on my Blog, but I am afraid my life isn't terribly interesting. lol Sorry. One thing I am extremely proud of is that I FINALLY started writing my book. I have tried numerous times without a plot coming to me. So I scrapped them. It's been about 9-10 months of doing this. Granted I don't have a lot of time to write, so maybe I haven't given it my all, but I also want this to happen naturally and not forced. Some local events took place that has inspired pieces of my story and here we are. I have my main characters. I have 2 pages written (yeah yeah I know not a lot) and the main plot figured out. Now it's a matter of sitting down and writting, and letting the characters go through these situations I am placing them in. I edit too much, I over think things too much, and then I edit again. So Im trying to leave it alone and just write. With two kids, husband, a house to clean, meals to make, snacks to prepare, laundry and dishes to do, usually I am left with a couple hours at night to research points of my story and write. Hopefully it will continue and NOT SUCK. :)
