Night Person.

Writing would be so much easier if I could get my brain to function before 11:00pm at night. 

It doesn't. I can sit there and stare at the empty page, like I've been doing for the last hour, and be utterly unable to write a word. But last Saturday night, I was able to churn through a dozen pages or so of editing, writing, expanding once I really hit my stride, beginning at about 11:15pm. 

Unfortunately, I'm a night owl that gets sick if I don't get at least 7-1/2 hours of sleep a night.  And I can't sleep till 10 am due to parenting and life duties. 

So that means I need to get to bed by 10 pm or 10:30pm most nights.  Currently, I can manage two nights a week up late, but just barely.  (I really should stop doing it.) 

If I had my way, I'd stay up till about 1am or so three or four nights a week in order to write.  But I dare not, because I'll get sick very quickly. 

Sucks being a responsible grown up sometimes.  Really does.
