See, I promised I wouldn't post until 3 and it's almost 8. I did a good job not spamming you all incessantly for the entire time I was punch-drunk awake and endlessly amused at myself. I'm not amused with myself any longer. I got maybe five hours of sleep and all it's done is make me grumpy. I think I preferred being sleep-deprived and giddy.

Anyways, I finished a podfic before I caught my nap. The last of superkappa's Sweet Charity podfics. This means it's time to do another chapter of History, Repeating Itself, and then onwards to brighteyed_jill's podfics. I should probably take advantage of the three hours between now and the beginning of the cox_and_co group-watch of The Speckled Band, which I was more excited about six hours ago than I am now, but that pretty much applies to everything. I slept through the hottest part of the day and part of me just wants to go back to sleep. The reasonable part of me realizes that if I did, a) I would miss this group-watch and I really do want to participate in it, and b) I would wake up at four in the morning and be miserable all day long tomorrow.

I tried to write while I was up. I got maybe three or four hundred words and I dislike most of them. It pains me to scrap any progress I make, but if it's bad writing it's not really progress, is it? Part of me is crying out for a beta-reader to tell me what the hell the point I'm trying to make is, but honestly, nobody cares about this story besides me, and absolutely no one would even notice if I threw the entire thing out. Which I won't, because I really do like most of it, I just lost sight of the story I'm trying to tell.

I think I need a writing Watson icon to replace Mohinder at his desk. I guess I'll look for one of those for the next couple of hours. I'm sure I've seen one somewhere, it's just finding where that's the tricky part. Weirdly, I couldn't find a writing Watson icon, but I did find a writing Holmes icon... which works just as well for my purposes.
