Sleep is Everything

Second day of the "new schedule," and my brain feels like tiny people are using it for a trampoline...five and a half hours of sleep last night.  I woke up at 4:45 in the morning, dismally wide awake for no good reason.  But what can I do?  Carry on as if everything is normal...

I finished the one hundred short-short stories sometime this spring...then got caught up in school volunteering, then a trip to Hawaii, then...it was June.  Past the deadline for spring submissions for most literary magazines.  Most will accept submissions again starting around September 1st or 15th.

Missing that June 1st deadline put a hole in my stomach that hasn't really gone away, but...once again, no point in lingering on that.  It's time, absolutely time to grab hold of whatever writing talent I have, and run with it.
