Woke up at 3.50am, put on the coffee water. At desk at 4am, wrote for nine hours. Sort of okay. Maybe. Took a break for self-flagellation, no, just kidding, half an hour of lifting weights to avoid back ache. Had light lunch at 2pm. Back to work in the afternoon. Too many emails, too many requests for this and that – including writing assignments I don’t have the time to take on but feel too insecure to say no to. Brain stops functioning at about 5pm, nothing very clever comes out no matter how its spongy grayness is squeezed. Giving up. Walk to clear my head, then watch a few trashy horror movies on the laptop. Dinner. Coma. Reassuringly tomorrow will be exactly the same.
