Coffee. That’ll do it for you.
She was just about ready to call it a night. She crawled in to bed with her daughter, it was easier this way, and lay there. Eyes wide open, mind racing. There was no way she could fall asleep after drinking that much coffee. What to do, she thought, what to do?
She got up, careful not to wake the sleeping toddler, grabbed her glasses and her laptop and started typing away. Why not? She needed to clear her mind, and if she couldn’t write during the day, she might as well use this opportunity tonight. 12:34 am. That’s what time it was. “Perfect. 1-2-3-4-Go !” She thought to herself, smiling at her idiotic joke
She opened her laptop, entered her password and sat patiently as the screen loaded. So many pop-ups, so many distractions. Spotify, Messenger, Google, etc. All of these distractions are what kept her busy instead of writing. Not tonight. Tonight I will write. If I am going to lose sleep, I may as well lose it usefully.
Maybe she could re-read old work and go off of that to start something new? Maybe something would just jump out at her and she would magically write a book – or at least part of a chapter – she hoped.
