My clock is all off. This is the fifth straight day that I've stayed up until 4am to write. I write my best during this time, but it's terrible for the body clock. I'm getting home from school around 5pm, exhausted and sleepy. So I take a short nap and WHAM, I'm up until the early morn watching VH1 We are the 80s. But, I'm gradually rolling pages for MEN OF THEIR TIMES. And, I solved a problem that had been bugging me. At the end of Act I, I want Langston and Latimer to have a huge argument about race, and for some reason, I couldn't figure out what was going to be the issue. But it was right in front of me. Now, the end of Act I will have a great emotional end. Now, back to Depeche Mode.

I did my best writing on this kind of schedule. Mike Werb said he fell into the same kind of routine in grad school. If it works, don't knock it -- embrace it! You do start to feel a little like the undead. I only wish I had gotten into that kind of groove early on, like you, instead of my last quarter!
I think you're right. I've been going to bed at 4:30am, then getting up at 7am to get a workout in. Around 11am, I take a three hour nap, and that makes me feel guilty, but then again, why feel guilty. I'm going to flow with it as long as it works.
