My Dearest most dear ever adored friend without whom I cannot live,
I am most vexed. In spite of myself, I always end up sleeping at one, two or three in the morning, even though I know well that I won’t be able to wake up (without taking heroic efforts) to go to school. And you wonder what I must have been doing till the early hours of the morning? I wish I could say that I had been studying and fighting against my urges to sleep for the sake of academic success–But no, I confess to you my drst friend that I had been staring for hours at Microsoft Word, typing a sentence then backspacing each letter until I returned back to a blank page of the chapter I was supposed to rewrite and send over to my patroness[editor] a week ago. This isn’t the most productive way to spend one’s time. I do know that, but I still remain before my laptop, truly believing that to sleep means to forgo that moment when I might be struck by an inspiration. But of course, no ‘AH-HAH’ moments transpired in my groggly mind. I never do learn my lesson. This ridiculousness I repeat the next evening, staring at Microsoft word, the glow of its blank whiteness illuminating my countenance, while my mind is filled with muslin, bonnets, trousers [yes, trousers! yum], cravats and characters nodding away to sleep. Whatever am I to do with myself? I have skipped class and it pricks at my conscience. I had once been a good student who considered it sacrilegiousto skip. Oh, those good old days! I shall try to be more disciplined the next time and force myself to sleep. I promise you!–no, I mustn’t promise, but I will try my best!
Your most obedient and humble servant,
Miss Bluestocking
Don’t be soo hard on yourself.
Half of us do the same, when we shouldn’t be.
I should be solving 12 case studies by Monday.
Not happening.
Sigh.

I guess staring at Microsoft Word when we should be sleeping/studying is a universal problem when it comes to writers, haha. Yes, I mustn’t be too harsh on myself–but I really do need the sleep I’m missing out on!

Your headers are always so pretty!
I can really relate to you. Writing is keeping me from staying focused. It’s my last week of school and I can’t even get my homework done, because I spend hours and hours typing away on my computer.
And I thought I was the only one who dreamed of muslin dresses and such! The way they dressed back then was so simple but yet elegant. But I think that my dream was the result of me falling asleep watching The Duchess.

hehe thanks for the compliment.
YES, I know, writing is keeping me away from focusing on my studies! I really do need to set my priorities straight–and yet, though I know this, I won’t do this. Writing beats all.
Ah..The Duchess…such a heart-breaking movie.

I’m not that into poetry–it leaves a lot to the reader’s own interpretation. And I’m not good at reading betweeen the lines. I’m a lover of prose.
I’m currently living in Toronto right now.(But I wish I was residing in ENGLAND–it’s the country I’ve been writing of for years) And you?
