The Author's Nest

I am exhausted...

I haven't had much real sleep as of late. My owner^* is visiting for most of March, and I've been sleeping with him, but in the leadup to his arrival, I've been in a creative rut. I've been too tired to properly do any sort of writing, and my wrist has been too painful to work on art.

When I'm unable to work on anything, my creative side becomes a river, and I keep having ideas pop up in my mind that prevent me from sleeping. Each idea plays out in my brain, so my mind is too active to allow me to sleep. That's a problem.

In order to clear out my mind, I need to write. However, I've been too tired to do so. Even now, I keep wanting to pass out at my desk. It's a vicious cycle that I get into occasionally, and a very annoying one at that.

I'll figure something out eventually, but for now, I just need to keep going.

Regarding the ^* above...

Yes, I'm owned in that manner. I am the proud pet of someone, and I wouldn't trade that for the world. I love him, and he loves me.

My lifestyle is one I chose to follow a long time ago, but have never really had a chance to fully live it. Even now, I don't really have that capability, but I'm doing what I can.

That said, I do enjoy just snuggling with my master, and I zone out almost completely if he starts petting my head. Only happens if he or my mate Sildrae does it, though. If my mate Calyo tries it, I'm unfazed. My mind is weird like that.

Maybe I'll write more on the subject later. For now, I need to work on other things while my wrist can withstand it.
