Dateline 9-26-2017

Here we go with another day. Once again I am up earlier in the AM than usual and I like it. Yesterday I woke at a similar time and was done with all of my blogging duties by a little after 10:00 in the AM. Even though I still put in the same amount of time, psychologically, it felt great to be done so early because it felt like I had more hours to work.

This was a tad bit self-defeating because these hours saved ended up going to a nap to make up for the missed sleep that led to the early rise. I'm fine with this though because now that I'm working on my novel I take a daily nap to switch from blogging to fiction writing mode. 

Unfortunately, yesterday's early start was unplanned so I didn't end up utilizing my time as efficiently as I could have. Where I should have just laid down for a quick one hour snooze upon finishing SNL review, instead, I stayed up working on nonsense task so that when I finally went down it was more of a mid-day slumber than a nap.

Eventually, I would love to settle into my dream schedule where day or night, I'll just sleep whenever I feel the need. I used to do this when I work freelance in film and had weeks off at a time and I loved the freedom. Though I could pull this off right now, it's a hard thing to pull off when living with others who think that you may be dead if you go off radar during large chunks of the day when the rest of the world is awake. That and I need to be awake during the peak activity hours of the task site where I make the bulk of my pay.

I dream of a day that I can fully support myself with my writing because while this goal is not yet a reality, I feel like I can do what I want while scraping away but I definitely don't feel free to do as I please since I'm still trying to validate my existence.

Alright, now that I've gotten that off my mind, it's now time to get to work. As always, I'll let you know how things turn out when I check in tomorrow.

Talk to you then.

Sincerely,

The Wicker Breaker
