For some reason, I've woken up every morning this past week in a funk. Nothing serious, just a mild, temporary depression. There's no reason for it; life is better than it has been in years, the kitchen's stocked, and I'm creative again. As soon as I have my first coffee it goes away, but that initial twenty minutes is hell. Come to think of it, it happens when I wake up from a nap, too, and only a good cup of tea can chase it away. Is this something that has to do with age? God, I hope not. Being an optimistic sort, I'm going to say that it's this winter weather.I worked on a client's site last night from 9:00 to 4:00, and there's still so much to do. That's a good thing, by the way. I'm definitely spending my weekend writing, though.
Last night I dreamed of one of my characters on stage. I was watching him play, which was really informative. I may have to fit that into the book somewhere. Earlier, during an evening nap, I dreamed I was at his house, walking around. I recognized some of the rooms and saw others that I hadn't yet created in my mind. All this is really cool stuff, I think.
Yesterday, Ville suggested I write a prequel when I'm done with this, and I think it would be a really interesting story. Who knows? I just may wind up being the first author to write a Rock trilogy!

Yep ... I am nodding my head to the way you feel when waking up. Seems no matter how much or little I sleep, there is never that youthful "jump out of bed to start the day" attitude anymore. I mope and drag to the kitchen for some coffee too. I also make caveman sounds --- arrgg, rrrr, nnmmmm
heheheee
Hello from SpeedyCat :-)
Good to know I'm not alone. I'm seriously attributing it to the weather.
Thanks for stopping by and for saying hi!
For the past two afternoons I've had a dull, nagging headache. I'm attributing them to this weather. Ergh...
Yeah, me too, but I think mine's from staying up too late for too long.
Or maybe it's Sh*^ they're playing on my classical radio station this afternoon that's giving me a headache. Bugger! I've switched it over to a Mozart CD three times already!
I don't actually notice how I feel that early. Should that worry me???
No, you're blissfully numb. I envy that.
I am having this as well. Sadness tinged with depression - when I have nothing to be depressed about. It could be the snow and the endlessly cloudy skies - or the twrirbs which are eating my brain.
I suggest a good Zinfandel to go with that brain.
I'm thinking the insomnia may be catching up with you.
You're doing a lot more of what you love which you say you haven't done in forever. But now that you're in this happy place and the creative juices are flowing...sleep may be more of a necessity than it was before.
Just my 2 cents :)
