Today the morning started at two thirty. I fell asleep before sending the prompts out which was the second thing I thought of when I woke up. The first thing was why am I awake and why does my throat hurt? So of course sleep and sleeplessness are on my mind. I think about some of my characters who sleep easily and some who wait and wait for sleep to come and some who wake up abruptly in the middle of the night.

I woke up and just knew... or he/she/they woke up and knew... or negate it- She fell asleep not knowing...

Sleeplessness is a desert without vegetation or inhabitants.

Dreams are the naked truth; get ready for it.

I'll never wake up in a good mood again.
I'm tired of these stinky boots
Jim Morrison, An American Prayer
Do any of these words spark something? Do you see something that wants you to write about it? Pick a word, a phrase an image and write. If this is all dry and tasteless in your mouth pick something different, make up your own. Write where your writing takes you. Write for ten minutes, or five minutes or forty.
Write alone in your room, or sitting outside or in a coffee shop. Just write.
I hope the coming day is good to you and your writing.
