07112023 Dear Diary,

Yesterday I went to bed early around 7pm. I had already eaten dinner and was falling asleep on the couch so why not. I woke up around 1:30am. For no reason really, probably the passion woke me, telling me I have time now. By 2am I stopped trying to go back to sleep, got out of bed, and got on my laptop. I am supposed to be using my laptop time to check things off of my to-do list. Unfortunately my list is filled with signing up for authors profiles and filling out the application to host events at the library but that sounded to boring. I worked on my books instead. I started with Mimi's Arrow but I am still figuring out what to do with that book and when I write my novels I really need to find my 'zone'. So after spending some time with that book and not finding my zone, I switched to another book I got the idea for years ago but never wrote. Its a story about a girl who can see Shadow People, which are like ghost... a lot is going to happen in that story but its still being developed.

Its almost 4am now and my mind is melted. I'm going back to bed. Hope I can sleep and have vivid dreams. Maybe I will dream I can see the Shadow People.
