Developing my Writing

November 26, 2025

If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?

If I didn’t need sleep, and making the assumption that I will be at full throttle, then I would definitely be doing more writing.

Over the last four months or so I have posted at least once every day and have built up more of an audience. It has been great for me to get into the habit of writing every day and responding to the prompts in a more spontaneous way, which seems to have freed up my writing style. However, I am finding that mental tiredness is making it more difficult to focus on more than one post a day. I have written two of my posts about Christmas Magazines, but I am finding the third hard going, not because the subject matter is uninteresting but because I seem to have a finite level of writing concentration. Also, of course, I have a lot to do around the house and that tends to make it more difficult to just sit down and do things purely for myself.

At present, I have the target of writing and scheduling 6 posts for the beginning of December to put myself ahead of the game. So, in the next five days I need to write 3 new posts as well as finishing off my current one. It’s a tough ask but it’s absolutely essential otherwise I will start to fall behind. My response to each daily prompt has given me levels of views and likes I could never have imagined so I will continue to do them. It is at this point that not needing sleep will come in handy! That said, I have seen films where people don’t need sleep or are using every single cell of their brain and it never ends well! So, I just have to build up my concentration bit by bit in the way I will build up my body in the New Year. Wish me luck for both!
