I kick over the current plot of my novel. I see myself in the male or female roll. I imagine how they feel and what they say. I have a clip board and pen handy to write it all out and then I wrap my arms around my pillow and imagine bedding one of these fine folks.

Sick, sad, fuck you. It works for me. And I have a hell of a lot of wet dreams for a woman. And just say, “panties”… Doesn’t that help? Just say it. Trust me. I’m not a doctor but I do like to play like one. “Panties.” It’s just one of those words…

## Sweet dreams!

Best!

I day dream too.

I also find that thinking of all the things I have to do the next day makes me really tired, and I fall alseep a lot quicker.

Apparently I’m lucky, but as far as i can tell as soon as the lights go out, I’m asleep. I haven’t had trouble falling asleep since my parents quit forcing me to bed when i was young, then it was just the radio that I listened to.
