I'm having a hard time writing these last ten days.  I'm averaging about two paragraphs a day right now.  I think I've written about 1000 words on Leap of Faith during that time.  Normally I average about 1500 words a day on the days that I write, which is usually every day.  Right now though I just don't seem to have that momentum.  I've spent more time than I care to admit staring at empty white space on the computer screen.  It's weird because I know exactly where the story is going, I know exactly what is supposed to happen in this chapter and yet...the words don't come easy.  I hate it when this happens.  It happens enough that I know it will pass and I'll go another three months or so being able to write again before I hit another one of these patches, but while I'm in one it's not all that comforting.

It would help if I could sleep properly.  I'm not getting enough for my brain to want to function in story-telling mode, or much else.  I think it's time I made an appointment at the sleep disorders clinic here in town.  This type of insomnia is just not normal.

Aww that must be so horrible for someone like you who normally writes so much! Insomnia is so awful, it's like you can handle almost anything when you've had a good sleep, but take that away and even the most simple,everyday things seem that much harder.

I hope you get some answers at the sleep clinic *hugs* x
