I guess I meant to say night.

I should have realized how difficult it was going to be to get up this morning.  It is always difficult even if I get the typically proper amount of sleep after a night of essentially none.  Either way I felt okay today but I did not get to my writing like I had hoped.

So... Here is the continuance of whatever bizarre thoughts I was having last night.  Take 2:

As it gets closer it notices a glint of light flickering from the surface of the line.  Soon the flicker evolved into more of a shimmer.  It seemed a puzzling sort of thing as this was definitely something unlike everything else he had seen.

Its curiosities were further increased as it finally drew close to the line.  The surface appeared to be a soft, harmless sort of substance.  Reaching down to touch it revealed its highly unusual nature.  It seemed to briefly wrap itself around the finger that touched it, immediately causing his mind to briefly flood with images of a different place.  Before it could get a grasp on what it was experiencing the sensation of its own backside hitting the ground jolted its back to its present situation.

I must admit I have been trudging through these last couple paragraphs at the speed of nearly frozen molasses.  I have been sitting at the computer for hours, with a lot of decent opportunity to make some good progress on this, but have really found these ideas difficult to express with any normal sort of fluidity.  Just describing my challenges here have been leaps and bounds easier than the actual writing.

So, because this is really way past the reasonable hour, I must retreat to bed.  I am a bit perturbed by my inability to meet my quota as of late.  Perhaps I should have made a smaller, more accessible quota to begin with.  I can not let it affect my whole life as it has seemed to be doing, though, and regular life(whatever that means) is definitely preferable to the intense pursuit of general mediocrity.  I can not say my writing is all bad since I know the practice can be quite valuable but I know it is not the cream of my creative endeavors either.  No worries either way.

I suppose I am roughly 2,000 words behind schedule now.  I think if I budget my time properly I might make a little traction toward reclaiming my position.  I guess only time will tell what will happen next.
