Can't Sleep....So I Shall Write!

The problem is my actually taking the time to do so. I have a theory on resolutions and why so many people fail at them. First, they make a resolution that is totally out of character for them (like losing 30 pounds in a month), and then wonder why they can't achieve it. Not that losing 30 pounds in a month isn't achievable; it is if you enjoy starving ...
