I heard a rumor...

…that contrary to what I believe, people actually need sleep once in a while. Amazing, I know…. I also heard that you can’t live of lollipops, chocolate chip cookies and industrial amounts of coffee. But I am going to keep trying because, well, life’s more fun this way. The fact that I can’t seem to turn my mind off for five minutes so that I could actually have a shot at falling asleep might also have something to do with it.
Recap time, kids: I haven’t slept in…oh…quite a number of hours. I haven’t eaten any real food in more then that. I want coffee. My ADD is kicking in big time and it's bringing my dyslexia with it.I am pumped full of pain medication because my damned leg hurts like hell. Conclusions: not in a very chipper mood right now.
At exactly 10 PM I am going to bed and I am going to sleep even if it kills me. I have stopped any caffeine intake (in any shape or form) five hours ago. I figure that by ten my brain will either shut down and allow me to sleep or my eyes will start bleeding. I’m fine with either one. But look on the bright side…I had 30.020 words on the twentieth. Hurray!
On a non sleep-whining related note: today I wanted to kill of Abby. I was writing a scene and I had this impulse to have a truck run over her. I stopped myself...but I do feel bad for wanting to do this.Not having written mysteries or horror in a while is taken it's toll on me.
Sorry for the annoyed post, I needed to vent a little. My happy self will be back tomorrow,fully rested and without wanting to kill any more characters(hopefully).
But apple lollipops do make life so much better. :)
