Okay, a little succes story, though we're only two days into March. I'm at 11k. Whaaaat?!?!
I've got no idea how that happened. Well probably 'cause I've been writing at night. Somehow my mind most have been sleeping while writing 'till 4 and 6.30am. Really disturbed haha.
Tonight I'm having a night off, going out with friends. Important too ^_^ With the Wacky Weekend Challenge I'll rock on!
Oh and just FYI, it's not all roses. Had last week off from college and I've got absolutely nooo idea how I'm going to get up early in the morning next week haha.
So how are you guys doing?

11k! That's nuts! xD And awesome.
I failed my Kickoff Challenge of 6k. However, I only set a 50k goal this March, since I'm plotting; based on that, this is Day 2, so I only need to be at 3333 words. This means that I'm now ahead, at 4449. Yay! ^^
Yeah, writing at night really enables me to get a lot done. However, it seriously messes me up, because then I'm constantly tired. I just can't keep it up consistently. =P
Good luck trying to keep up while going to early college! =(

Almost 4,5k is great as well! Like you said, you're on track! And the weekend challenge coming up!
I love to write at night, I had classes in the morning haha. Let's see how we'll manage next week. It's almost 6am again. Not by writing this time, but having a good time with friends. But I'll try to get up 'early' -earlier- tomorrow so I'll get some rythm back!

Yeah, it's so hard to get back into the rhythm after a week of staying up all night. =( After a while of that, your body gets used to it, and you can't sleep early even if you want to. I'm at that stage right now. It was getting so that I didn't even get sleepy until 3 in the morning.
Was?
It's still like that! =(

Me neither, I'm already a night person, so I'm off track -like- immediatly. But it's getting more extreme like every day. Have been having serious trouble with sleeping since December.
Just not getting tired at night... Maybe I should just stop studying and listen to my body hahaha

Ha, yes! It's very easy to say that we will listen to our body, and to go to sleep early, but...things happen during the day! It's just not the same. At night I can peacefully just do things for hours on end without having to take a break to eat, and no one disturbs me, because they're all asleep. =P

Yeah, it so much easier to concentrate at night -although right now I'm on a board with Americans for who it isn't night haha- But like you said, you have to do things at night.
I should move to the States, 'cause I've got a rhythm that fits with your timezone haha. Tonight I was talking to a boy and we were talking about my trouble with sleeping and I had to explain it to him, that it was like having a jetlag. Except for the fact I din't go anywhere -_-
-Okay, and now I'm hoping there aren't any new posts when I get to the homepage, then I'll log off and go to sleep haha!-

Isn't night? It's 12:30 AM here! Everyone else in the house is asleep! I'm just a night owl. =P Who says night is for sleeping? I sleep in the morning, when no one's home!
Yeah, your rhythm fits perfectly here! I should move further West, because then my body would settle down into waking up in the...you know, what's that thing? oh yes, morning. XD
No more new posts?
Hardly.
Mua ha ha ha ha ha haaa! XD

Well night. Er - morning. 6.44am. But well I went out last night. So got home around 5 -OMG that means I've been on the computer since then for almost two hours now instead of going to sleep haha- And I'll fit in where you live, then I'd fall asleep around 10 or 11 pm. Nice! I will try to get up in time tomorrow. Need to train my horse -which I skipped today because of staying up to late-. My brother and sister in law will come over for diner and after that I've got plans with a friend again Think I'll sleep for an hour or three/four haha. Yeah, my plan failed -_- Quite surprised by the small amount of spelling mistakes I make around this time in a foreign language though. It almost seems like my mind works better than during the day ^_^

Er...good mornight, then! xD
Going to bed at 10 or 11. Wow. The last time I slept before midnight, it was because I had a splitting headache...even then it might have been 15 minutes give or take from the midnight border.
It's the same for me. My writing almost always goes better when I'm sleepy, or slightly tired, then when I'm alert and wide awake.
But you know what, it's 1:00, and my bed is starting to sound pretty comfortable. I think I'll call it a night early, this time! xD
...or maybe I'll finish the Dream Theater album first...eheheheheheheh XD
[EDIT 1:40 AM:] Nope. Can't...sleep...because Dio is assaulting me Straight Through the Heart, as it were, with sheer, molten gold metal ear candy! =P

Yeah I tried lying in bed for about half an hour and since I was still staring outside -oh yeah it's light out- I changed my plans. Gonna try write for an hour and then I'll train my horse.
Hopefully I'll be tired when I get back and then I can sleep for a few hours untill my brother's here. That way I'd have to get up again and hopefully be exhausted when night falls again.
That's the weird thing, I'm really not tired. I'm wide awake.

Oh right, Holland is one of those countries that gets a lot of daylight at night! :-) Seems so strange to me, b/c it gets dark at 8PM here :-)
Well, staying up tends to do that to you. I'm pretty awake now, but I know I'll crash once my head hits the pillow...and I am SO going to regret this tomorrow morning! =(

Only in the summer. Deep winter it gets dark aroun 4/4.30pm, in the summer we get long nights. Current sundown's around 6pm, really nice to have some more light!
Good luck with getting some sleep and tomorrow! I'm going towards the stables, really hope to sleep some in the afternoon!
