Must. Get. Sleep.

All week, I haven't been able to fall asleep until about 3 am. It's frustrating, but also kind of exciting because I've been getting all kinds of ideas and plans for my next novel. That's why I'm up so late. I just lay there, trying to go to sleep, and then comes the creative flow. There are about 3-4 characters emerging at the moment. One of them is a video camera. Sort of. It's weird, but I like it.

I was trying to wait until October 1 to start planning it (and begin writing it on November 1 for National Novel Writing Month). But my brain is getting started early. Which isn't so good for me this week...I have the first part of my thesis to write by Sunday, and here my brain is going into novel-writing mode.

Okay, I'm going to bed. I hope.
