You know how sometimes you write something as a throwaway comment about a character, like they're really good at knitting or they've read a certain book or something, and then later on that little tidbit comes in really handy? I just did that in an "Oh, my God, that's perfect" kind of a way.

It's Sunday morning and I've only had five hours of sleep, damn it. My brain shouldn't even be working half this well. :)

I love that feeling. This year, my novel is totally make-it-up-as-I-go-along, and that sort of thing is magically happening all the time - things I just tossed in for fun earlier are suddenly signifigant and important, and everything comes together in a sudden rush of "ooh so cool"!

Do you often find you do your best thinking on a combination of caffeine, sleep deprivation, and sugar?

I'm starting to get that impression, yes. :)

I'm beginning to think that all writers function best when at that stage. It must be the hallucinations brought on my the combo.


...I also use cheesesticks. mmm. empty (calorically) tummy filler.
