Late

It is late, or early, just as one prefers. Almost 1am and still not sleeping. Not wise, since tomorrow I have to travel to the other side of the country, have a business lunch to prepare a strategic presentation and drive to the middle of our beautiful nation. During all this car driving, I have to prepare for a Sales Review for a new bid I am assigned to. I will be the writer of the team. Last bid I worked on lasted for 2,5 years and in the end we signed 2 contracts worth a total of GBP 125M. Not that I have seen one single penny of this money, no, my reward was to be headhunted by another big ICT company, who were desperately looking for good Business Writers, let’s hope they made the right decision (notch, notch hihihi).

So why can’t I sleep? I don’t think it has anything to do with the fact that I fell asleep in the hot tub this afternoon. ;-) No, that has nothing to do with it, I just have to much energy. I feel I need to write, put stuff out of my head on paper. I have characters who are dying to get born on paper, or into the digital world, so to speak. Who are willing to do anything, just in order to tell the world their story, no matter how perverted or twisted. Sad, hopeless and fearful creatures. So you see, there is no rest for those that need to create, those that need to solve heartbroken promises and committed cruel psychological crimes (I write psychological thrillers amongst others).

And like this my quest continues, for a little while at least. I will go to sleep of course, only not yet. For a little while more I will let my characters take control of my time and see what they will come up with. Maybe they will create the lines for my first bestseller? If not, then at least I will have had some fun. An adventure only I could come up with…
