3.30 AM is a good time to write. The house is quiet, except for the kittens rolling around the kitchen floor in a Tupperware mixing bowl, their current favorite toy after the concert harp, which is off-limits. Gamma is sleeping upstairs, Alpha is in Japan and Beta went back to her dorm last night.
If you close the kitchen door, Gamma can’t hear you when you slam your forehead on the kitchen table to wake yourself up every ten minutes.
In this fashion, 2000 words get written in, roughly, 2 hours.
Random words, mostly:
the,orange,the,shopping,list,a,water bottle,tile,ceiling,pyjamas.
Well, at least you’re not writing, “Was du heute kannst besorgen, das verschiebe nicht auf Morgen,” over and over again!

Oh, you guys….at least the German version rhymes!
but with the english version i get jack nicholson.
You can have Jack Nicholson in *that* movie, I’ll take him in “Terms of Endearment.” And I’m going to add that I googled “Jack Nicholson, Shirley MacLaine” to come up with “Terms of Endearment.” (I knew there was some benefit to being able to remember Shirley MacLaine’s name).
