jenkFor me, part of writing involves harnessing my creativity. Or rather, learning to write down the exciting confrontations that my mind invents while I'm trying to get to sleep, or the solutions I come up with to quiet my night fears.
Sometimes I do get up and write it down. One advantage is that the process of writing tends to 'use up' that particular fantasy, giving me more peace when I return to bed. (This can be a downside when writing *sexual* fantasies.... ;) Other times I'm too tired, and just try to convince that part of my mind to *calm* *the* *fuck* *down* *already* to that I can sleep.
Hm.
The one I just wrote up is variation 1 of a fear that has been keeping me for the last week. With luck it'll quit being such a force over me. With even better luck I'll be able to use it in a story one of these days....
Oh, and I *soloed* today in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
