I know a lot of people who don't sleep well during Nanowrimo because they trade sleep for writing time. That's not my issue. My feeble attempts at sleep during Nano are ruined by the characters that continue running around in my mind and generally making a racket. Then there is that moment, the burst, the feeling of falling that one gets just before they fade off into dream world. For some reason, my characters think that is a great time to put their arms up and scream like they are on some rollercoaster. It really does get annoying. Maybe they think that I'm throwing them some plot twist to send them on a new adventure, but seriously, shut up and let me sleep.
So, I won't be getting nearly enough sleep this November. You will have to forgive me when my plot fades into some rambling uninspired drivel…it's just part of the process. Anyway, I can sleep in December.
