And I realize it's been more than a year since I updated this journal.

Ever been physically sleepy but mentally awake? It's been over a month now and I still get this way.

Now, it seems, my muse Melpomene must be appeased with fresh sacrifices.

I am not making sense, so I leave a quote -

Because writers remember everything, Paul. Especially the hurts. Strip a writer to the buff, point to the scars, and he'll tell you the story of each small one. From the big ones, you get novels, not amnesia. A little talent is a nice thing to have if you want to be a writer, but the only real requirement is that ability to remember the story of every scar.

- Misery, Stephen King
