GUEST POST
Never Write while sleep deprived
**Yawn** forgive me if I ramble a
bit today. I’m going on day three of having very little sleep. No,
I have not been up all night writing. That would be nice. I’ve had
a few rough days and nights dealing with some personal issues. Enough
said. Anywho…back to what I was talking about. Writing with very
little sleep. Have you ever done it? Did you actually accomplish
anything? Were you able to read it?
The reason I ask is that I have
written while on little sleep. And trust me, it was not readable. But
at the time, I had a great idea and it couldn’t wait. I had to
write it now. Since I couldn’t sleep, I sat in my living room,
laptop ready and began to type like a mad woman. The ideas rolled out
of me in a flow I’ve never felt before. I couldn’t type fast
enough, my fingers flew across the keyboard like lightning. As I
wrote I told myself this was the one that was going to take me to the
top. Three hours later I had several chapters done and sleep was
calling. I saved the document, then staggered off to bed. Despite
being dog tired, I was hyped up about the epic novel I had just
started. For the first time in days, I slept like a baby.
I should have stayed asleep.
Excited, I woke, ran to my laptop
even before having breakfast and opened the document. I stared at the
screen, blinking as if that would change what I saw before me. Nope,
nothing changed. It was still crap. There wasn’t a single sentence
in the five chapters that made sense. I kid you not. Picture
yourself, eyes closed, typing away. Now open your eyes. How well did
you do? Probably better than I did while sleep deprived. My sentences
looked similar to this.

Seriously! Yet in my mind, and in my
sleep deprived vision I saw sentences of great writing. Paragraphs
that were off the charts.
And do you think I could remember
any of the idea when I woke? Nope, not a trickle came to me. How is
that possible? People do strange things while sleep deprived. I wrote
the greatest crap story ever written. I’ve learned my lesson. If
I’m too tired to think, or I’ve gone days with little sleep, I
don’t write.
