Edit: After about 40 hours I cannot write for s**t

My Body is tired but my mind won't shut down. What to do???

My mind will not stop at this point. I lay in bed and its like my mind is in super abstract creative mode. I get all these ideas and they all feel so right. If I do manage to dose off its only for a minute or too and then all systems are back on line in this weird fuzzy state.

The thing is every time I get like this the ideas seem amazing. It's a light bulb moment like "Dude why don't you just do this!" The next day I'm thinking about the ideas and it always seems like they were bad Ideas.

But I mostly never test them to even find out if they are bad.

"Dude why don't you just do this!" The next day I'm thinking about the ideas and it always seems like they were bad Ideas.

Are we talking fiction-writing? If so, I can relate. A ton of the stuff I write at night embarrasses the crap out of me when I read it the next morning. But usually, it's just because it's too explicit or too drama-laden to be realistic. But then I think, "Hey, it's definitely not boring!" And I keep it, anyway. Then, when I read it again at night, I think, "You know, this isn't too bad..."

The point is, you should test out your ideas. To quote you, "Dude, why don't you just do this!" One of my favorite books is "Monster Hunters International." It starts out with an accountant killing his boss, because the boss turned into a werewolf and tried to eat him. Exciting, funny, scary -- That idea HAD to come at night. My point is, unless you decide your idea is boring, you go do it now, mister!
