Insomnia is a Terrible Thing to Waste

I stayed up late last night writing and I actually made a good bit of progress on the novel, but that in itself presented a problem. When I finally did shuffle off to bed, I couldn't shut my brain off. Bits of dialogue, strange words, and snippets of planned scenes whirled around my brain like dirty bathwater circling the drain.

Hour after hour slipped by and before I knew I was delirious with fatigue, but still analyzing things I'd wrote or planned to write. Then I got stupid.

I wondered things like can a person be flimmed without getting flammed, or flammed and not flimmed?

And my postal worker background probably is to blame for this one, but if a fellow is happy, content and eager to head off to work can he be described as gruntled? And can someone be combobulated?

Not to BE outdone. Have you ever been wildered or fuddled? Yeah me neither.

Thanks for humoring this sleep deprived bonus brought to you by my troubled mind.
