Something of a Stumble


So, yeah.
Last week I posted a new chapter of Harmony's story ('Average Everyday SuperGoddess'), and it felt really good.
Now, a week later, I'm not feeling so good, since I've not managed a single word since then.
BlargleArgleGargh.

This is not how I envisioned this section of November, y'know?

And okay, some part of it is me struggling with this story a bit, because this section of that story is not an easy thing to figure out; sure, I get that, and I've actually managed to at least do some thinking on it, which I'm almost convinced has shown me which way I need to go. So yay, that's at least something.

But most of this last week has been the sleeping disorder thing, which I've been fighting for a long while. The last couple of months I'd been doing better with it, basically through force of will, but this week it sort of caught me and bashed me in the head and left me feeling like I could never get rested, never feel like doing anything creative, always felt like I'd been up already for 30 hours when it had actually been two... stuff like that.
This past weekend, I got NOTHING done.
I mean, nothing. At all. I existed; that's it. No reading, no watching tv or movies, no giving my little cat girl a needed bath, NOTHING.
I slept, and stared at this screen, and tried to get going on the next chapter, and it didn't happen so I took another nap to try and get rested enough to write, only when I woke up I was still tired, so I slept some more, only when I woke up I was still tired, so I took another nap....
You see how that goes.

I'm going to try and force my way through tomorrow, to see if I can get back into some better groove, like I had for those couple of months there. There IS a pattern I was doing, where I could fight off the false need to sleep long enough to actually get into a writing thing, and then the energy of that would just carry me along... for the most part.

Easy to say, easy to conceptualize, not so easy to actually do.
All I can do is try.
