Hello? Is anyone out there?

Hello!

The night owl crew is around but most are either consumed with runaway fingers taking their stories to new heights or, like me, putting said fingers in time out (Ie: Procrastinating)

I second what Caramia said, we're here, it's just that our fingers are gainfully employed. If I only knew where mine were working, I could get them back.

And welcome.

Welcome to AW.

I'm happy to oblige. Is it night owl syndrome, or a different day already for you?

It's only 1:30 here, but, you're correct. I don't sleep much either. That's what dying is for.

7pm here. I'm just re-reading the third book in my series. I finished writing it two days ago. I had a good little book signing at my granddaughter's school earlier in the day, so I'm taking it easy. The sleepy feeling is part due to evening meal. I grated zucchini and carrot and squeezed them dry. I added grated onion and cheese and cooked thin, crisp fritters. Try it some time. Nice!

If you go to the top "menu" line, where it starts with "user cp" and click on "new posts" you can see what's been newly posted. You can also scroll all the way down to the bottom and see how many people are online.

My brain functions, but the communication flow is somewhat spotty between brain and fingertips.

And I have tried those vege fritters. As a carnivore I still give them a thumbs up.

I get approx 4 hours of sleep at a time. What happens after a while of that is a day of complete coma.

Does your brain stay functional into the wee small hours? Usually past 2am my typing goes all to hell and parsing sentences become something of a chore. Plus, drool on the keyboard makes the keys slippery. 9:55am here in Bonnie Scotland.

Yes, it's 2 am here and I just finished my required nightly pages are done, and the brain is thoroughly fried.

I originally typed "fired" so that tells you exactly how well the fingers are working.

Good night, AWer's. (oops, apostrophlea....)

Nope, working on my labor of love. Cause if I didn't love it, I'd be hacking it to bits right now.

I agree with that. Writing is my peaceful hobby.

Not protective. I've actually got the first scene of chapter one posted. What happens for me when others read my work is that I'm ok with whatever you have to say about it, as long as you have fact/context behind your statement.

Oh yeah it would suck a lot.
Last time someone read a short story of mine and didn't like it.
I cam close to hacking the book to pieces and then slowly torturing them.
