4 AM Reflections on Writing, of all things

I'm so stressed over my project and my other classes that I'm having trouble sleeping.  I woke up at 2:30, and I'm not having any luck getting back to sleep, which sucks, because I've got an 8am class today.  So I've been doing what I usually do, surfing the web, and I came across a blog posting on FlickeringMyth.com, which is a film site that is big on s/f and fantasy-type films, especially ones with a high pop-culture quotient, like The Avengers.  Anyway, they had a retro-review of A Knight's Tale that must have been posted by another insomniac, and I decided to comment on it.

This is a first for me.  I've never commented on anything before, and even now, it kind of makes me nervous, just the way this blog does.  I would never have started a blog on my own if it hadn't been a requirement of a course, because I feel as though I'm asking to be judged by others when I put my work out there.  It's uncomfortable, thinking about strangers reading what I write, but I guess doing this blog all semester has made me less worried about what other people think of my writing.

Still don't feel sleepy.  I'll try working on my draft some more -- no point in wasting this time.
