Ramblings on a Friday night

[azhure]

First thing: Don’t forget about my giveaway to win a signed copy of Sarah Diemer’s book The Dark Wife.

Things have been quiet here. Mostly because things have been quiet in my head.  I’ve been spending time researching for a rewrite of Thought and Memory (previously The White Raven). No actual writing, and very little fiction reading, either.

The last two weeks I’ve been glad for the research, because I haven’t been able to do much else.  I’ve been exhausted.  I’ve actually been sleeping fairly well at night, thanks to medication and a kid who’s been sleeping well.  Despite that, I’ve also been exhausted enough to be napping most afternoons while the kid does.  And napping hard.  Just crashing into deep sleep, and waking feeling fuzzy each time.

I’m guessing my body needs the rest, but it’s frustrating to be losing so much time to sleep.  I’d much rather be reading or writing or hell, at the very least, watching some of the many television series I want to catch up on.  But the body has other ideas, and I’ve learned to trust it when things are like this.

In the meantime, I keep researching and developing my outline for Thought and Memory.  And hoping that this exhaustion will pass and I can return to being productive.
