Late Night Writing Session: Delirium

(image via wikimedia)

When I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t go back to sleep, I get up and try writing a little bit.  It seems to work better than staying in bed.

Maybe my brain needs to work things out more.  If I remain in bed, I might stay awake for an hour or two.  I get fidgety, roll around, and it doesn’t do much good.  Writing seems to make me tired more quickly.

The writing that I get done in the middle of the night isn’t always the best.  What looks great at 2:00 in the morning can look like junk when I check it later in the day.

Still, when I record myself writing in the middle of the night, I get some interesting footage.  What happened below would never have occurred during the day.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!

The accompanying video has been temporarily removed.

Now that I think about it, the video kind of sucked.  I think I’ll just permanently remove it.
