anniversary

But I still have a day job, so my external alarm clock goes off much earlier than my internal clock would prefer.

As a New Year resolution, I said I would get up an hour earlier than usual and use the time to write WritShel posts or edit, then go to work. These are easily stoppable writing tasks, compared to really getting into a story and then being late for work (not that I’ve ever done that before ^_^; ).

As of today, January 7th, I have been 0% successful at this resolution.

I have written, it’s just been from the hours of 8 pm to 1 am.

I could force myself to get up early, but I know I’d still end up being awake and at the keyboard near and sometimes past midnight. It’s just how my internal clock is set up, and it’s much easier to follow it than fight it.

Because sleep deprivation doesn’t do me, or my stories, any good at all.
