Heat increases productivity? Who knew?

See, the way it works is:

I am not about to go upstairs (=hotbox) between noon and 10 pm. Because agh agh death.

The network cable is upstairs. This controls my access to the Internet and its many distractions.

Therefore, I do not go online between noon and 10 pm.

Writing requires little movement and produces minimal heat.

Writing can be done downstairs, in the land of comparative cool.

I have only limited brain available during the afternoon.

On the other hand, after dark I start to perk right up.

Writing is also quiet and does not disturb the sleeping.

Writing can be done at all hours.

Therefore, I wrote...something like ten pages? Of handwritten story today. It's original, a fun thing inspired by a series of short stories I read elsewhere. Hopefully different enough not to make me feel guilty. But. I have at least three other stories of the same length floating in my head, and that's not counting the vignettes. Yeah.

And yes, it is in fact 2 am. And I'm more awake than I've been in hours. This heat wave is screwing with my sleep schedule.

I believe I shall type this story tomorrow. Draft two time!

Actually being on fire might be cooler

Con: Hot, sweaty, face bright red and dripping, back aches from bending over.

Pro: Nine quarts of strawberries (!!!).

Day promises to be hellish. See you sometime after midnight.
