A ~3000 word story done in 2 1/2 hours of writing. And that's with a few brief interruptions (I mean apart from the "brain breaks" I took between the writing segments) as I'm home with a sick Jack today. It's taken a lot of experimenting, but I really think I've figured out how to bottle the old magic here.

I've made some pretty awesome strides in managing my insomnia lately, through a combination of managing caffeine intake, finding a combination of sleep aids that work well for me, and rearranging my sleep environment to address the needs I have instead of the needs most other people seem to, but I'm still an insomniac and it still happens that I can be absolutely exhausted and not be able to fall asleep.

(I always fall asleep, I never go to sleep. I never learned the way.)

So I'm not going to complain much about the eight hours of awesome sleep I just had, even though I had them between the hours of ten in the morning and five in the evening instead of at night, when I really could have used them.

Anyway, I don't have much to complain about: I'm still in Florida, it's the first of several days I'm spending gloriously alone, my folks have a cable package that includes Music Choice and I have Soundscapes playing. I'm reading over the Tales of MU I've written today and then I'm going to take a bubble bath while I mull it over some. Write, reflect. It seems to be a good way of doing things.

Edit-dendum: Oh, I almost forgot... if you're a s00j-fan and would like to help her bring her music to the masses in a real way and possibly get yourself a shiny credit on her next album, check out her call for sponsors. The offer ends tonight.
