Should you write while sleepy?
Lately I seem to be writing my blog posts in the night, when it's difficult to pull energy out of the air. However, writing when one is sleepy does have the advantage of allowing the subconsious to be more expressive. I think it must be a little like writing in a state of hypnosis. One of these days it could be interesting to write a whole short story late at night, just to see if it's a very different sort of work from my morning writing. The human mind is blessed with nooks and crannies we don't always utilize well. Why not explore some of those nooks and crannies as a storyteller? You might give it a try as well and see what happens.
