I think I’m going to take up the habit of early-morning blogging. You must understand, I am far from an early-morning kind of person. I’m more of a write-until-the-middle-of-the-night-when-you-have-no-choice-but-to-pass-out person, and that was all well and good when I was single, but I’m starting to understand that that gets in the way of Married Life. (Or vice-versa, but bygones).
Meanwhile, one of the things Married Life entails is making sure Husband gets up in the morning, and making a lunch for him, because prior knowledge proves that he’ll simply go without eating otherwise, and considering he works unfortunately long hours some days, that’s not something I’m willing to let happen.
This means I’m starting to make the slow transition from Night Owl to Morning Person. Or at least, Able-To-Wake-Up-In-The-Morning-And-Accomplish-Things Person. This is not a first for me. I took an LDS Seminary class that started at 6:00 when I was in high school, which I was fairly (excuse the pun) religious about attending, so I am at least familiar with the concept that the sun actually rises, and doesn’t just appear in the sky and slowly set every day.
Still, as various parental figures in my life would tell you, morning has never really been my strong suit. In fact, most of my early-morning romps of late have ended up with me falling asleep around nine or eleven anyhow, which is slightly pathetic, but at least for the moment still true. What? I’m an eight-hours-of-sleep kinda girl, and that’s hard to do when you go to bed at midnight and wake up at five.
I’m planning on using quiet early morning time for other things that I’ve been neglecting of late, too… like reading, for instance. And the actual Writing writing that I’m supposed to be doing. Isabelle Santiago and I are going to really challenge ourselves and each other to get some things done by March (March?). In my case, I plan on having a first draft finished—finally finally finished—of my YA Paranormal.
Now excuse me, I have jobs in Japan to apply to.
