In the Middle of the Night

Why is it that insights of brilliance always come to you in the middle of the night when your pad of paper is somewhere else and you really don't feel like getting up to find it?

This is what happened to me last night. I had this flash of brilliance on what I was going to blog about today. It would have been wonderful. But I had nothing to jot it down on. Oh, well. No problem. I'd just remember it when I woke up again later in the morning and would be able to write it down then.

Yeah, right.

Sigh.

So no flashes of brilliance. And a nice new pad of paper next to my bed. ;-)

We had company last night so not a lot of progress on my editing. Only about ten pages. But it continues to progress and that's something. One thing I'm noticing is that I have a tendency to shift POV a lot. I'm attempting to correct that.

Oh, and finished another book in my TBR pile yesterday. That's two down, 195 to go! And Wantzuponatime - the web site I write reviews for - just told me I'm probably going to be getting a dozen more soon! Guess I need to get to work.

But there's also this cute little game someone put me onto on the web. It's addictive. I'm not going to tell you 'cause you have other things to do. But I have a few minutes free. :) Of course, if I do go there, I may not surface for a while. But it is fun.

Enjoy your day.
