Not my smartest move ...

It's 2:11 AM as I start typing this.

I just got done writing a major and difficult scene for my third novel. I've been all over Google Maps, keeping my eye on a TGIF and a building in Tokyo, Japan (see the photo, courtesy of Nikuyakun) and outlining action scenes in my head. I got to a huge plot point and backed the material up. I feel good about it.

It could be years before I can explain why I was so interested in this picture

However, it's 2:11 AM and the sink's full of dirty dishes, and oh, yeah, I'm out of wash cloths and jeans, so I'm headed to the 24 hour laundromat down the street. I have to be at work in less than seven hours.

I could blame one element of my life being two hours late, making me sleepy and throwing me off of my rhythm, but my little girl let me sleep until 10AM today, which went largely without interruption given that the wife and baby are out of town. I should know better, basically, and should have worked more quickly.

But I didn't. So tonight's gonna be a long night. Bygones.

NOTE: Since this blog is automatically imported into my Facebook page, I apologize if you comment on it and I don't respond, as I am taking a sabbatical from social networking for 2010. So me not responding is not personal, I just won't see the comments ... until 2011. Maybe. Also including this disclaimer on blogs, but you're welcome to go to the blog itself and speak your mind, as I may look there ...
