I accomplished nothing today. I just sat around and...sat around...and pretty much sat around some more.

And now, at 12:33 AM, I suddenly am having these random flashes of inspiration to draw and write and do all these really awesome things. And see, I would, but I have to be up by 11 AM at the latest tomorrow so I can go to my songbird care meeting. And I need a lot of sleep...

I'm now under the impression that my muse is nocturnal. At least Dad got the computer in my room here working again (that's what I'm writing on right now), so I'll now have a much easier time retreating into quiet so I can write, but it still seems my muse intentionally picks bad times to rouse itself.

Went through a few hours of desperation today, though I was mostly distracted enough not to think about things. I really...gah, it's like the more I think about things the more I realize how much I just...don't want to give up, and how far from reality I am at this point. Well, I'm going to go get in bed at least, though who knows how long it'll be before my muse concludes that no amount of its pestering me can rouse me to write or draw tonight. At that point it'll hopefully curl up and go to sleep--allowing me to do the same.

My muse is totally nocturnal too. I end up going to bed at ~4 XD

My muse, when she deigns to visit me, picks the middle of a very hectic workday. I'm generally like, "ZOMG this needs to be done in 15 minutes and given to my boss!" and the muse is like, "What if Ash and Misty had never met until the League games?" And then I'm like, "Hmm...concentrate on this prostate biopsy report or write an AU? Decisions, decisions..."

The result is that I have half-completed fanfics on my work computer.

Hahaha, I know the feeling. Ooo, that is an interesting AU idea, though. Yeah, muses are so troublesome. I think they hate me. >.> It's especially irritating when I wake up at like 3 AM with the "OMGGREATESTIDEA!", and when that happens one of two things occurs: a. I convince myself I'll remember the awesome idea in the morning, no matter what my previous experiences were, and go back to sleep--thus killing the idea, because I never DO remember it, or b) I write it down incoherently on a piece of paper in my half-asleep state, and then I either write it at some point or not.

Haha, we should all quit our jobs and/or school just so we can write fanfiction whenever and wherever we feel like it. If I ever become a rich, powerful novelist I'll definitely do that.

Half-completed fanfics make me sad. I have volumes of them. XD;;
