Indecision. In Decision. At Least Make a Decision.

It's almost 4am.  

What am I doing still up? (Studying for finals, that's what.) 

A large mug of coffee, mixed w/ hot cocoa and frothed milk has sustained me for the past hour. So many things have been weighing down my creative flow, I wonder if I'll ever get back into writing lengthy pieces. 

Studying for finals, constantly thinking about what else I need to do to improve my training in supervisorship, my somewhat extensive Christmas List I still need to jump into, and the impending family holiday road trip.  All constantly whirring through my mind at full speed.

The stress has kept me from getting much needed REM deep sleep.  And what little sleep I do get involves tossing and turning, anxious glances at the alarm clock, and waking up from bad dreams.   

Please! Mr. Sandman, Sedate me now! 

Although amidst all this mess, I've suddenly gotten the urge to start writing a new work.  Not a good thing, 'cuz it's gonna take a me a few weeks to develop my characters.  In that, I'll doodle on paper of what I'd imagine them to look like, as well as research suitable names to go with their choice of personality.   (Great, I'm getting sidetracked again...)

Honestly! I already have a closet full of stories in desperate need of being finished.  They've been collecting dust, it's a shame so many of them have been left in the cold.  So far, the only ones to have been completed are the short summations of dreams I have (like below.)   Maybe it's all the life material I've steadily collected this year, getting at me to have it's say by way of revelations. Lol.  

...In the form of a brand new story.   A daunting task now that I think of it.  O_o''  

Well, I'm not promising anything out soon.  Winter break is starting in a few days, and hopefully then I'll get to submerse myself in a world of brainstorming and revisions.  (End-4:05am)
