So I realized today that I can function on a particularly busy day in the office and survive even with barely three hours of sleep. I mean, sure, my head feels like it's floating and I have massive eyebags, but I survived.
All for the sake of submitting the first three pages of my YA story for Mina Esguerra's buqo-sponsored online class. I could've finished it earlier, of course, but where's the fun in that?
Also, my creative juices start to flow only when the deadline is looming.
Anyway, I clocked in at 1,199 words and submitted Activity #3 a half hour before midnight!

Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances by Neil Gaiman
WRITING
The next chapter!
LISTENING TO
Silence. It's like the whole neighborhood is already sleeping. I want to join them.
SMELLING
The Physiogel Cream I slather on my face before bedtime. I love how it makes my skin feel super soft!
WEARING
Ratty old pambahay clothes. I am so ready to fall asleep after this entry.
THINKING
Of more conflicts to throw my buqo YA characters.
FEELING
Sleepy and tired and exhausted yet accomplished.
LOVING
That classic red lipstick look.
WANTING
To finish my YA story without any other hitches. I really want to do this!
NEEDING
More sleep.
WISHING
I can stop time so I can spend more time sleeping.
Can you see a pattern here? I am so ready to sleep now. Goodnight, world! Sweet dreams!
