Sleep My favorite activity right now is sleeping. It’s been like that for some time now. I’m putting all this pressure on myself to get freelance writing jobs and also to use the lap top computer my wife got for me. I’m suc ha klutz that I may take five to ten times longer than the average technophobe to learn it, but I’m working on it every day. I go after the writing gigs because after the movie has come and gone, I’ll still need writing jobs to support myself. So I get up at seven o’clock and on Mondays I cut the grass with my ancient push mower. If I let it grow more than a week it gets too high to cut with that mower. Then I go back into the house and get busy. I’m working on articles and comic book stories that I’ve hustled up. Or I’m on the phone trying to scare up more, hustling my publicity agents to not only set up newspaper and magazine articles about me, but to see if the newspapers and magazines have an interest in me writing something for them which I would, naturally, get paid for. I may not always work at a frantic pace, but I feel frantic all the time. Around six o’clock, a little of the edge gets taken off my nervousness by fatigue. The sleepier I get the better I like it. I could go to bed at 7:30 or 8:00 every night, but my wife doesn’t like that so I stay awake for a while longer. When I do go to bed and sleep, blissful sleep overcomes me as I become anxiety free. 10:12:40 AM
