So LIv has come in the room twice now and caught me sleeping at my desk. I would go to be but it's only seven and it seems the hours until bedtime are just slipping by. Of course that may be because when there's a quiet five minutes I fall asleep...
Pretty sure I might have just fallen asleep right then as well. Liv came in and said "Mom!" rather loudly. Pretty good indication that I was snoozing.
Why am I so tired, you ask?
Because the writing bug only hits me on nights when I have to be up early in the morning. Never on nights when I have nothing to do.
I got the bright idea to totally rewrite the end of Chasing the duchess because when I tried to submit it to Crimson Publishing I had to get it in by a certain time and it wasn't finished so I kinda rushed the ending and I felt a lot of characters got lost in the shuffle and just forgotten about. I kept telling myself that no one would notice and it would be okay but then I read it again and the perfectionist in me put her foot down and said no so three chapters and an epilogue hit the cutting room floor and I'm currently rewriting.
But the damn bug only bites me when I have stuff to do the next day.
Last night I started writing KNOWING that I had to be up at nine a.m. this morning and the next time I looked up, it was three freaking o'clock! I itched until four, was awake at five and then again at nine when Mommy called. And usually when she calls to wake me up, I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed but I think this morning I may have mumbled and groaned because she kept telling me to wake up.
So it's bed time and the kids are going down. I've been sipping on a cup of fruit punch vodka and Kool-aid so of course I'm awake. By the way... It's nine o'clock now...
I'm a little bit tipsy so I'm going to just end this. Muh-wah! Stay frosty! And I realize to my northern friends that might sound like I'm making fun of you but I'm not! Stay safe friends! Love ya!!
