The Mysteries of Sleep

[queenoftheskies]

Isn't it amazing that, even if you can't say you got lots of sleep, if you got a little more than the night before, you feel a million times better?

Throw a few dreams in there, the really deep, cinematic ones, and it improves you even more.

I think I can write today. I think I can make progress.

Heck, I am making progress. I had 2,040 words by 8:00. Better than yesterday.

I hope to make a dent in the remaining words on my novel today. Tie up some loose ends, wrap up and tie together some plot threads. Then, maybe, I can start to wind down to the finish line.

So, I have a question. Does anyone else start getting nervous or antsy as they come to the end of a rough draft? Yesterday, I seriously had to battle the performance anxiety, though I did win out in the end because I'm stubborn and hung on like a snapping turtle.

Today, I'm excited and enjoying the scenes I'm working on (I had a hard time getting started yesterday.), so I'm ignoring the fact that these scenes are pushing me closer to the end.

Argggghhhhhh...the end!!!!

That's a scary concept. Then I actually have to go back and...and...gasp...see if anything really works.

I'm not going to think about that now. :)
