I actually got impatient this morning going through my FL on LJ. Not because people weren’t saying interesting things, but because I wanted to write. *Needed* to write. ::sits and marvels for a moment:: You know how long it’s been since I’ve felt that *urge*?

Today: Today’s been rough. I tried to do today without caffeine. This was a mistake, as A) I didn’t fall asleep until after midnight and B) Little Cat decided that I needed to get up at 5. I still tried to write this morning. All I ended up doing was rewriting much of what I’d
