We're fitted—it's almost like we're royal

Good news: I think I slept as much as twelve hours last night. I did not rewatch Dark Passage (1947). I read the second novel in my recently acquired omnibus of David Goodis, Nightfall (1947), and fell asleep next to spatch and Autolycus.

Bad news: I dreamed I had just finished writing my third short story this month. I was sad that it was probably too late in the year to place any of them for publication in 2018, but at least my next year would be full of fiction. One of them had started life as fanfiction for a nonexistent Disney show of which I can remember only a kind of Voyage of the Beagle-like survey in a culture with both more human diversity and more nonhuman characters, probably not even on this planet. I was pleased with them. I felt I was finally doing something useful with my brain, even if all three of them had sea-themes and people would say I was a one-trick writer and my computer was somewhat seriously breaking. Then I woke up and I had not written any stories at all.

At least Bertie Owen is not breaking. And I slept.

Sleep is good--and at least the dreams sound like mostly good ones. (And at least Bertie Owen is unscathed.)

Sleep is good. I'd like to arrange for more of it without needing the week's deprivation first.

I wish I remembered enough of any of the stories to write them.

Well, I am glad to hear there's been sleep, but I'm sorry for bad dreams, or disappointing realities, whichever way you prefer to look at it. :-/

And of course, may there be writing!

I've been able to take poems out of dreams before, but never much in the way of prose. I wish I could.

And of course, may there be writing!

Thank you!

You write my book and I'll write your short stories and we'll get somewhere this week? *helpful*

Very helpful.

I am very glad to hear sleep has happened! Sad that it involved dreams that were disappointing to wake from, but still glad the sleep itself happened.
