So fun, Chris! Perhaps this makes the argument for a standing desk.:) The end.

Thanks! That is much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I may have to look into getting one of those standing desks. The couch I'm sitting on to write most nights these days is more like a bed, and it's just asking for trouble! Haha! 😎

I blame it on the soft music.

I think you could be onto something there! It's a slippery slope once it starts playing too softly. It's basically a lullaby! Haha! Thanks for reading... 😎

Yeah… lullaby! I was actually thinking if it’s too fast it might distract you from writing but kept you awake.

That's very true. It could be a help or a hindrance, depending on the genre of music. You definitely wouldn't get much writing or sleeping done with Heavy Metal playing, that's for sure! Haha... 😎

Oh goodness, this one is based on real life! But if one comes up with a story while dreaming, doesn't that count? 😴

Absolutely! Some of the best ideas can come from dreams. You just have to be sure to write them down quickly, before the mind loses its tenuous grip on them and they get forgotten! Haha! Thanks for reading... 😎

Haha! I'm pretty sure I resemble this story. However, I am more likely to fall asleep while reading than writing.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed this little story about the writing life. It's definitely easy to fall asleep reading, too. I blame my couch. It's just too comfortable! Haha! 😎

Well, chocolate is always a good one to have available. They say it helps improve brain function. Which is a great excuse to eat lots of it! Haha! Thanks for reading... 😎
