    Write.... Write until words start blurring together, your chest hurts, and your roommate screams when she walks in because you so look like a zombie...

    Even then, I might write with my eyes closed till my brain STFO! @~@

    I lie awake and stare at the dark ceiling, willing myself to go to sleep. When that doesn't work, I get up, raid the fridge, and write fanfic stuff that in the morning, I read over and can't remember why I ever thought it was a good idea. i.e., the beginnings of an Avengers Doctor Who crossover wherein the Master crash-lands in New York.
