Late Night Brainstorming

or "It's 2:30 AM, do you know where your creativity is?"

So, it's nearly 3:00 AM and my creativity seems to be turned on high. I've made some really good writing progress, bashing my way through some words that up until now just didn't want to come out. Sounds a bit odd but for some asinine reason I'm wide awake and writing like a fiend.

Does this make any sense? Creative people tend to be a bit more eccentric than others. If you happen to be creative and dislike my reference to eccentric, take a gander at this and then get back to me in case you still feel it doesn't fit - from a generalized point of view.

From Merriam-Webster.com: eccentric

Good? Great, now let's move on and ponder the ramifications of creativity hitting at three in the morning.

1. Sleep seems to be optional
2. Vividly describing a sunrise is usually done through half-open eyes.
3. Not everyone is a night person, which will likely include members of your family.
4. Sane people are generally not available to bounce ideas off of, even if they are during the day.

So, unless you are unwilling to take feedback from the cat it's just you. And let's be honest, who among us hasn't looked to the family pet for guidance at least once when we were in a jam?

I guess the gist is that if you find yourself on a creative blitz while under the influence of sleep deprivation, you might want to review in the morning.
