In my 20’s I went to bed around 2-3am…
In my 30’s that changed to 11pm-12am…
In my 40’s I’m lucky to stay up to 10pm…
Tonight… it’s past my bedtime and I’m barely making the deadline for the #SOL entry today. Yet knowing I committed to writing every day this month and taking part in this challenge I knew I had to pull my computer out to make it happen.
So here, I write, past my bedtime knowing that tomorrow morning will come soon and another day will begin. Ending my day with writing is starting to become a habit even though my eyes are droopy and tired. Thankful for this nudge into writing and glad to join this community. I now need to be better at reading what others are writing (but I am always so tired when I sit down to write) yet planning to spend time this weekend losing myself in others words.
Now, it’s time for bed.
Love the Grey! 
Your writing is raw and honest like a diary entry here. I appreciate that.
I have shifted some of my other reading/social media time to make room for slicing and responding and, honestly, I’m much better for it! Good luck to you, I know you’ll find some life in it in the days ahead! The challenge is real!
Writing daily definitely takes discipline, but it’s such a great experience! Great intro to this slice-it really hooked me into the piece. I’m also a late night slicer, and I often go back and read/make comments the next day on the other late-night slicers from the day before.
I have also dialed back my bedtimes and I was never much of a night owl- my problem is my internal clock still wakes me up too early if I go to bed late. I love the idea of losing yourself in others’ words this weekend!
