Sep. 30th, 2009 08:14 pmI think I still have lingering ill or something, because this is ridiculous - I've been back from work for 3.5 hours and it's taken me a nap and two huge cups of tea to get to a point of coherency, and I still don't feel like I can achieve anything until I've had more sleep. Might just get up really early, do necessary work tomorrow morning. Really need to kick the arse of this because I need to be doing a hell of a lot more work in the evenings, and my flat's kind of falling apart around me; it used to be so tidy and nice! D:
I've got to the point this week/this term so far where I feel like I need to make a timetable for all my waking hours again, to make sure I get stuff done and don't just sit for hours because I'm too tired/unmotivated to do anything else. Now I just... need to get up the energy to make one. XD Oh, one thing I did get done today - printed out a long and abandoned WIP to hack and slash at with a red pen. I am my own worst editor, seriously, but wow it's easier editing like that. I'm getting more of a feel of... like... character arcs and stuff? It's easier to ask yourself questions and think about these things when you're studying it from a perspective of not being able to immediately make the changes, y'know? Once I can afford to have savings again, I'll save up for a printer I think.
And now I'm going to sleep. And if I wake up at 3am again, incoherent and muzzy, I'm probably going to cry. Fair warning.
