Taking a Strange Physical Assault.

It sort of feels like I'm being continuously beaten. My shoulders and my lower body are taking some sort of metaphysical punishment, and I'm sitting here gritting my teeth and wincing. It hurts, and my head feels like it's spinning wildly. Kind of like a downward spiral that's unstoppable.

(I've done some "music therapy" to calm my otherwise frazzled state. Blasting music and "screaming" along to the lyrics is remarkably calming...)

Yeah, it's frightening as hell. But it's also kind of awesome, because it's wonderful energy to fuel into more writing. I've been neglecting a story for a while, and it's time it got more writing. The energy gets channeled, as I'm skilled in doing.

I've watched three movies tonight that have given me some inspiration for action scenes and some twisted darker scenes. My brain is pulsing with inspiration and thoughts, and so my body is "beating" itself up so that I get some writing done before I sleep and lose it all.

Sleepiness and a mild caffeine high does this to a person.

I'm feeling awake but exhausted, hurting but pleased, and I'm ready to hit the writing with all the force this body has to offer...
