Write Every Day: Day #19

[auroracloud]

Lethargic, headache-y sort of day. I think most likely a cold bug is trying to get to me but not quite managing it, since yesterday I had a slightly sore throat, but I'm not really sick. It didn't exactly help that I tried going downtown to try to do things. I was feeling all kinds of hypersensitive (absolutely painful whenever someone had noisy shoes! and so many people there are so noisy, argh, and all the bright lights!), and the headache got worse. I desperately need a new laptop before this one just breaks down, but I didn't do much progress in that. I think I've got Christmas presents figured out, though. Not bought yet, but figured out.

Today's writing

Not very much, with the headache and all, but I managed about 300 words more on one of the fics I've been working on. I'd like to do more, but I have trouble figuring out what comes next, with this head. I feel totally reluctant to do any editing when I feel like this, and getting back to any of the other unfinished fics feels hard. Perhaps I won't expect more of myself today.

How is everyone else's writing going?

I understand, it sounds familiar. I also have a lot of problems with sleeping - insomnia is my default way to react to everything, especially stress, and throwing off my sleeping patterns isn't good. But sometimes it's so hard to resist the allure of a story... The last year, I've been so screwed up with my sleep because of stress, that compared to that one night of bad sleep feels tolerable... but only in comparison. Definitely not able to deal with lack of sleep the way I could when I was 20. :-P

Good luck at fixing your sleep!

I've learned to be really grateful when I can actually sleep, no matter how shot or long. The worst times truly are those when sleep is elusive. So relatively speaking, I'm on a good stretch because I can sleep; I just don't manage to time it in a practical manner. *g*
