Events in scotch-land have come to a grinding halt of late, deserved rants on TFS notwithstanding. I haven’t been doing much writing for public consumption lately for a variety of reasons, most of which include some level of laziness and alcohol intake. I’ve had the TFS rant jumping around in my head for a little while but other than that, there just isn’t much going on that I’ve felt like putting into thoughts, much less words. I am doing a lot of writing for private consumption, i.e. it’s not worth putting out in the public eye. I bought this book quite awhile ago but like many things, it ended up on a dusty shelf collecting more dust.
In an effort to revive my rusting creativity, I picked it back up and in a fit of madness or maybe drunkenness, I decided to commit to doing the exercises each day for the next 366 days. Now, 7 days in, I realize the folly of my ways. Discipline isn’t something I’d ever try to convince anyone I was an expert in and already I’m wondering what in the hell I was thinking. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I’m doing it and much like training for a marathon (another activity spawned in madness or drunkenness), once I commit to something, I tend to at least sort of follow through. But I can tell it’s not going to be easy.
All that said, I am starting to feel like the groove is coming back to some degree. I’m having ideas during the day that I’d like to write about and I’m a lot better at keeping up with a day-to-dayish journal. Now I’ve just got to find some way to sleep less that doesn’t involve cocaine so that I can write more. Maybe I could try it during the hour commute to work each day. Wouldn’t be the dumbest thing I’ve seen people do on the commute.

Sleep less? Huh? You’re already the worst sleeper I know, next to Doc.
Maybe what you need is to sleep well.

Man, sign me up for some orexin A. That sounds like some damn fine sleep replacing hormones.
K: True nuff. If I could manage to sleep well, I think I’d be able to get by on 6 hours all the time. I just gotta figure that out. Or get some orexin A. 🙂
