Sleep. How I long for you!

So, I'm working on this project right now- and as you may know, when I get something in my head that I want to do, I get a little manic until it's done. Take for instance- my first play (that I wrote when I was 16) What About the Baby. I had been working on it nightly for around a month when one day, while I was in school, my drama teacher approached me and asked how my progress was coming and if I was going to be finished soon. He told me if I was, then I could get a few of my classmates together and produce it for the annual drama geek event Drama Fest West. Wanting to see my play done immediately, I decided to finish it that night. So I went home and worked for 12 straight hours (that's 4pm to 4am, people) until it was done. Yeah, I'm crazy like that.

So, I'm doing this new project that has unfortunately taken up all of the space in my head and put me into manic mode. When I'm awake, I'm here at the computer or thinking about things I want to add or fix to the project. When I (try to) sleep, all I think about is what needs to be done, what is done, and what would make it better. I'm even dreaming about it! 80% of the time I look like this: That's me on 4 hours of sleep, 5 diet cokes and a pot of coffee.

*sigh* Oh, well, I guess it's back to work for me.
