One of those nights

[caffey]

Do you ever feel like doing at least two vastly different things at the same time? I do, and I consider myself lucky when it's only two things like tonight.

I'm torn between writing and reading. The problem with both options is, I don't know what I want to write or read about, respectively. Never mind that if I had any sense left, I'd be sleeping instead of pondering this not very life-altering dilemma.

But I can't shake the feeling that I should be doing one or the other. It's really rather frustrating. I just know that if I sit down to write - no matter what, just write - I'll end up itching to grab one of the books on my book list. By the same token, if I go for a book, I'll probably have Word started before I hit page ten.

And I only ever seem to have this problem when I've actually got time on my hands.

*headdesk*

Since you gave me your cold (thanks ever so much for that)I can't write.

I have a solution for you. Pick up a book and boot up Word at the same time. Then you can do whatever strikes you at that very moment.

Well, I know this problem as well as the back of my hand (after all I AM crazy) but never in the early hours of the morning though. *lol* So what did you decide to do and why do I hope you'll say writing?

You're so very welcome. 8) (Hope you'll feel better soon!)

Your solution would be much too easy; I've tried that before, and it didn't work because I can't concentrate on one or the other. In the end, I opted to go to bed, and I believe it wasn't the worst choice I could have made.

For reasons that elude me, I was quite awake up until 2 am. Of course, today I'm not even remotely energized, but that's life.

In the end, I just went to bed. Even if I had actually wrote something, it probably would have been practice work which no one else would ever have seen.
