Back to the Salt Mines...

I've recently started working on a project again after several months away.  My first novel was nearly finished when I realized that I had done something seriously wrong with it. Now after getting some emotional distance I am rewriting the whole thing (ugh) from scratch.

It's hard to write on lack of sleep.  We have a toddler who wakes up screaming at 4am every morning and needs to hold my hand in order to fall back asleep.  Then he won't let go of my hand without waking up.  The upshot of this is that I can't possibly sleep and I wake up too groggy to write or do much of anything else.

Fortunately there is a solution.  COFFEE.  I have upped my caffeine intake and now I feel like I could do just about anything!!!!!

Except sleep.
