Its 3:30 am and I still sit here writing. I think I may have used up all of my writing abilities this very night.
I think I had a short lapse in judgement because I wrote til I was sleepy....then I wrote past sleepy into hyper mode...then into pure exhaustion and now into insomnia. Since I really do suffer from insomnia, this has just added to it. And I am pretty sure insomniac writers do not produce quality work. I may wake up tomorrow with 20 or so articles that sound like my 3 year old compiled them. I may have even wrote a Christmas craft article about cell phone rate plans. Its a vague memory now.
As I have pointed out before, I try my hardest to prioritize and plan out my writing workload in advance but somehow my writing mistake radar forgot this coming up week was Christmas. I planned on taking Thursday-Monday off to have some Christmas fun with my family. But what I didn't take into account was my scheduling of obligations.
So I scheduled a six day workload into 3 days. I don't know how I managed to KNOW I was taking five days off and be looking forward to it for two weeks now but still go on ahead and fill up the board with writing obligations. Some I could get out of...some I cannot. But the bottom line is...can my bank account handle the cut? With my darling husband's recent income loss, I simply cannot take a chance on losing the pay. Sad...but true.
Here I sit...researching, writing, editing, saving and backing up articles like nobodies business. Knowing that 8:00 am is just around the corner and my sweet girls have performances at church tomorrow. But I figured with all three kiddos home and full of Christmas energy, I wouldn't get even half as much of my writing done as normal. I come up with this brilliant plan of working after they go to bed to get everything done. I have been writing since 6 pm...I think it is time to call it a night...or is it morning?
You better get some sleep! Articles on little sleep have little use.
ReplyDeleteLOL My sweet husband let me catch up on the lost sleep today and I didn't get out of bed until noon. I never expected to sleep that late...I must have been more sleep deprived than I realized.
