I used to have a love-hate relationship with insomnia. I used to hate being tired and unable to sleep, but I used to love the stuff I produced when I wrote in that state. Now nothing’s appearing, writing-wise, and I still can’t sleep. Here, for you edification, is a list of things I have done recently.

  • Produced an excellent Yorkshire Pudding
  • Eaten an excellent Apple Crumble
  • Started to download Anarchy Online to give it another try
  • Got a link to dukestreet from cheapassgamers.com
  • Begun building a new area of my campaign world
  • Talked to a lot of people online about world building
  • Read a huge number of Doctor Who novelisations
  • Drawn some fine maps
  • Started doing a rather technical perspective drawing
  • Realised I need a t-square and some set-squares, and have neither

… and I’m still not sleepy.

My main gripe with insomnia is that when I'm wakeful I'm stupid AND clumsy, so while I may think that working in the studio would be a Good Idea, really it is not. So it's a total waste of time.

Sonds like youv'e done some cool stuff, though- the maps and the pudding, for instance!

I can give you a loan of my T-square from school if that'd be any good.. not sure if I have set squares spare.. they usually get used in pattern drafting.

BTW Lidl has squared notepads at the moment, if you're not near one anywhere shout and tell me how much you want to spend on a few. IIRC they're 2.99 for about 200 pages

Anarchy Online? Blizzard are watching. You will be punished.

The power of Blizzard is truly awesome. They reached back in time and made the UI of AO so terrible that after half an hour, I was too irritated with it to continue playing.

Nab me about three of them, please - that'll keep me going for a while. Cheers!

I think they're cheap enough that I may as well go ahead and buy myself one, and get the squares at the same time.
