Sleepiness and Creatvity

Very interesting article. Though I often can't sleep because creative ideas fire through my brain right before I try and call it a night. Makes for some long days teaching when my mental gas tank is way beyond the empty point.

Fight the Good Fight

Great read on the struggle of chasing publication and losing your love of writing. I'm still in the hunt for the most part, though I've had some publishing success over the years. But I feel the same way. I know I will write regardless and I'll keep trying to get my stuff out there, but publication and the potential economic rewards that come with it aren't primary for me anymore. Starting a writing project I'm excited about and finishing it is my main goal these days.
