I know that the previous night I had insomnia, something that most people would classify as a disease, but for me it has become something more of second nature. I don't mind having insomnia and it barely torments my mind to think I'm not sleeping at the right hours (not that I don't get a little upset after a while of no sleep). So I don't usually pay much attention to the fact that I stayed up one night and slept through the next or that I've slept a good portion of the sunlit part of my day away. So don't think of that as a disease for me, but rather just my natural body motions when I talk about it.
However, I have noticed that although my sleeping is random and all over the place, that I've been sleeping a lot more than I should be. Like yesterday, the last entry to my blog was made early in the morning. At about seven AM my time (mountain, for those that don't know), I found myself back in bed going to sleep finally. I did not wake up until dinner that night. I had the meal, then went straight back to sleep. This is abnormal for me and it has been happening a lot recently. So I'm starting to wonder if I might be getting a little sick.
On another note, I am not letting this stop me from continuing my goal for the month, for I am already continuing on writing and hopefully I will get a lot done today. I will of course give the update as to what I am at now, but I just thought I would post this out there that I might fall asleep and get less done then expected.
What I also wanted to say is that although no one has read what I've written yet, for I am still working hard on finishing up a first chapter that is sure to grab the reader and bring them into wanting to read more (as I am told I am good at this), I have noticed something very peculiar about this novel in comparison to my many other ones. You see, I'm only about seven pages into writing it (All of which are formatted to be approximately 600-900 words a page... not your average amount for those who don't know) and I've noticed that the story plays out through what the character finds and not completely through the character. This means that my readers should very much expect that the book will consist of mountains of letters, poems, notes, and other assortments of writings that the protagonist will use to continue his journey and the first chapter will very much make this clear to whomever reads. So hopefully these side-portions of the book will be as interesting as the main characters adventure, drawing the reader to want to put them together as well as they dive into other people's lives.
One last note, my family continues to show me just how annoying they can really be...
