Make sure you catch up on sleep. <br />I feel tired too today after getting up at five on Saturday and Sunday to work on the novel for an hour or so. At weekends, it feels like the best time of day to write, but leaves me yawning through the rest of each day and falling asleep before nine in the evenings!Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.com
