Insomnia 2

I’ve shared with some of my friends that I have experienced insomnia lately. In fact, to my surprise and I did not really ask for it, the people in the DGroup that I joined started praying for me about it. Wow! Thanks guys! But really, I think I need to clarify a few things about it as well.

For one thing, I think that insomnia is one of the curses of writers/researchers. It is something that we would have to live with for the rest of our lives. There are just times that one experiences a sleepless nights. It just so happens that this time around, it is taking more than two weeks. And usually, it is during these times of restlessness that I experience an transdimensional idea of sorts that clears up my mind and strengthen my resolve further. It is the burden for writers. Some people here may not agree with me at all. That’s ok. Yet of the writers that I have met in my life, I have often asked them if they experience similar bouts of sleeplessness and a restless soul.

I always believe that there is no such thing as a perfect job. We just live with something that we either like or what we have just learned to live with. But for others, it is more than just a job — but a profession of one’s spirit and an outpouring of one’s soul. That is how I view my work as a writer and researcher. There are times when a writer experiences a mental blank gropping with the words to say. And for two weeks and counting, Fanatical Teacher is still caught in that limbo. Hence the long silence between the days of updating this blog and other blogs.

And so, I end this entry at one in the morning. I hope I get a good night’s rest. If there’s anything you guys could pray for me, then  pray that I would be able to get more writing and research assignments. For now, I will do my best to get my Vitamin Zzzzssssssss…………………..
