I'm still trying to catch up from the days I missed as a result of my surgery. I'll get there.<br /><br />Keep up the great work. The last time I was up at 4:00 am was when I was writing Dancing in Heaven and my brain was composing the story in the middle of the night without my consent.CMSmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623922567796370246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630295318214379308.post-14686773655553967502011-12-14T18:18:49.595-05:002011-12-14T18:18:49.595-05:00Thanks William and great post.

My day is so nuts and I am usually working on a sleep deficit anyway I usually fall asleep relatively easily. Except when my characters stick their heads in. Which has been just about all the time lately. I have had some issues with several lately and despite the lack of sleep, I still can't get my brain to shut down. I need to finish this first draft on book 2 just so I can get some sleep. Maybe then they will shut up long enough for some.... nuts, I have another idea coming. Ok, so I plan to sleep in my next life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630295318214379308.post-41877469607297316412011-12-14T18:02:54.426-05:002011-12-14T18:02:54.426-05:00It really sucked having insomnia as a child.

I once had one that constantly sat outside my bedroom window and I was so paranoid about it that I couldn't get any work done. They are schizo little creatures, I swear.

In this case, the woman's riding behind the wagon, shooting at bandits, and there's a fight going on in the wagon between a good guy and a bandit. The wagon comes loose from the horse team, and the wagon goes running off a cliff, followed by a "to be continued next week" teaser...William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630295318214379308.post-32695375842131084132011-12-12T15:48:17.394-05:002011-12-12T15:48:17.394-05:00Congratulations to my fellow Writers of Mass Distr...Congratulations to my fellow Writers of Mass Distraction on the Kreativ Blogger Award and of course to Carla who has a very fun, imaginative and oft times delicious, calorie inducing and even martini laden blog! <br /><br />I remember the late night television commercials yapping on and on about truck driving school.<br /><br />By the way, was the cliff and waterfall scene in Romancing the Stone?

Not sure exactly what those critters were, but regardless, they can keep you up at night.
