I've been staying up for the last few weeks until 3:30 in the morning
writing my novels. I'll sleep for a few hours, and feel completely refreshed when I wake up. Except my hands are as sore as hell for typing for six hours straight.

Ahhh... I love summer. I love being an author. I love doing this!!!!

2. Yeah...
I kinda like it where I zonk out for a few moments and all I do is type... I write such detailed scenes when I'm like that.

Sure, I have to edit like the Devil's after me... but hey, it's something.

I also seem to write myself little notes sometimes. When I was zonking out at the keyboard, I wrote:

"Gto slzeep now befroe you die."

Interesting, huh?

4. I'd love to be an author too.
I tend to write strange, streaming, and discombobulated thoughts more than anything though.
