Thorn Wilde Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Morning, DiC! Just popping in before I head off for afternoon tea. Or, as I like to call it, breakfast. 7 hours ago, Starrynight22 said: I'm writing in response to a prompt. I realllllllllly want to post the 2 chapters i have . But I can't since I'm not done. And I refuse to have another Josh and kells nevergonnabefinished story. 7 hours ago, Mikiesboy said: yeah, i know you do ... but dont. honestly time is your stories best friend .. time will make it easier to edit... finish it .. then edit it. it's something i learned the hard way. What tim said. When I've finished Storms, I'm never doing that again, ever. One thing is the possibility that I may abandon it, but then there is the fact that I'm retconing left, right, and centre now because the story is becoming full of inconsistencies. It's hard to keep up with 80k words of story prior to now, and when I reread sections I go, shit, I forgot about that! I've been going back to edit for new readers, but things still slip through the cracks. It's a nightmare, lol! 4
Popular Post Mikiesboy Posted February 16, 2019 Author Popular Post Posted February 16, 2019 Good morning, my DiC-orettes!!!! gibbous adjective | JIB-us Definition 1 a : marked by convexity or swelling b of the moon or a planet : seen with more than half but not all of the apparent disk illuminated 2 : having a hump : humpbacked The adjective gibbous has its origins in the Latin noun gibbus, meaning "hump," and in the Late Latin adjective gibbosus, meaning "humpbacked," which Middle English adopted in the 14th century as gibbous. Gibbous has been used to describe the rounded body parts of humans and animals (such as the back of a camel) or to describe the shape of certain flowers (such as snapdragons). The term is most often identified, however, with the study of astronomy. A gibbous moon is one that is more than a half-moon but less than full. 1 4 1

Honestly, I kinda fear for those who do without a lot of sleep and need to be involved in dangerous situations as part of their job. Not sure which part of the police force you were in, though, but most parts need the officers to always be alert. I may need to hit up a police station or two and ask them for tips.. Been eating mostly healthy, I guess it helps. I used to dislike coffee, but by last Wednesday it has been a lifesaver. I could just skip my morning gym and get more sleep, but I don't feel energetic without any workout in the morning. This is confusing 😶 Man..can't wait till this project is over. The higher-ups are too greedy to reject this soul-sucking project. Us lowly staff are the ones suffering. 4

Need to find a way to function with 5 hours of sleep every day.. Any tips? That's how I sleep when I'm hypomanic... Difference is it's enough. Or, it feels like enough, it isn't enough at all... I have insomnia too, though, so sometimes I'm like that anyway, at least when I have to get up for something in the mornings... They tell me I should keep a steady sleep schedule, and sometimes I take melatonin. I'm terrible at the former, but the latter helps sometimes, lol! Bottom line is humans can't live like that. Most of us need 7 hours of sleep or we go nuts. Good news is it doesn't all have to be at once. So, fit in a nap or two. 1 hour ago, mollyhousemouse said: hello Michael Sir! hello friends!

Starrynight22 Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 For sleeping when you can't get in 8 hours, ensure you're sleep is quality. Don't do anything in your bed but sleep (or sex). No tv. No reading. No phone. Train your body to respond to the bed with falling asleep. Be sure you're hydrated. Being thirsty can interrupt lots of processes. Including sleep. Eat as well as you can and continue to exercise. Naps can be refreshing if kept under an hour, more than that and you kind of mess up your sleeping cycle. 4 1
