Late Night Writing

My eyes droop as I write

click! click! pause. click! click! pause.

The keys on my laptop fire away

clickclickclick! pause. clickclickclick!

I know I shouldn't be awake at this time

pause.

But I can't help it

click! click! click!

My nerves fire at full speed but they can't keep up with my thoughts

ahhhh

I've lost my train of thought - it has pulled out of the train station that is my brain

click!

I watch the single letter appear across the screen

ugh

Then a new train barrels in and I struggle to keep up

clickclickclick! pause. clickclickclick!

I yawn - the curse of late night ideas and late night writing

click! click! pause. click! click! pause.

My eyes begin to droop again but I keep myself writing

click! pause. click! pause.

I am determined to ride this idea all the way to the end of the line

clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick!

Yes. I've managed to hold on.


Inspiration: I wrote a chapter for my other story ;) Cami --- :I Calum today in like just a few hours (my second fastest time for writing a chapter in any of my books). I just had this random inspiration to write for that specific book, even though I was really working hard on trying to finish chapters in my other two books - Things That I Do and ;) Lucy --- :I Luke.  Then that writing inspired me to write this poem, especially considering in my time zone it is very late and I should be asleep.  But it is just one of those writing days - or should I say nights hehehe :D
