[My Leap Year is a 12-month life project (begun 11/01/07) at the end of which I intend to be writing full-time. 365 small steps = 1 giant leap.]

I had insomnia a couple nights ago. It’s a doubled-edged sword for me, and can be both a blessing and a curse.

The blessing: good time for creativity. This time I worked out the entire premise for my Zuda entry. Last time–a couple months ago–I was hit with the concept for an entire line of nonfiction books which I have since begun work on.

The curse: no sleep. I’m too tired the next day, or sometimes the next couple days, to immediately geto to work on whatever creative inspiration I had that night.
