Okay, so I wake up, and I discover that writer's block has left me a wonderful response to my letter from yesterday. Here it is for the rest of you:
Dear Me,
Do you not remember those many days and nights in which writing at night was the time when you would write the best? We tried to force you to a daytime schedule; we would battle with your creativity at night knowing that one day your life would demand sleep at night. And now, you're a mother, wife, and college student who needs her nights to sleep, but what have you done? You've gone and messed up your schedule by strengthening your creativity with night time writings all your life. There's only so much we can do when you always send your little creativity minions after us. You write and write and write nonstop. Writer's block can only help you fix your schedule so much. You're the one that trained your body this way, not us. If you want our help, I suggest you start trying to write during the day. And for goodness sake, go to bed at a decent hour!
Trying to help,
Writer's Block
Now, we all know that's not possible, this 'going to bed at a decent hour' thing. I've never been able to do it without waking up either tired from too much sleep or grouchy from not enough. It's a no-win situation. I can't imagine what its like with a kid in the house, though.
