Bedtime for Bonzo?

Subject: Bedtime for Bonzo? Sat Jun 14, 2008 5:47 pm

Just when I hit my peak of ideas flowing, my muse cranking up, and I'm
wanting to do some serious message-boarding, everyone zonks out on me.

Are y'all going to bed, or... writing, like I should be doing? It seems
that every night around 10 PM (EDT) I find myself alone on the boards.
For west coast people that is only 7PM -

Share your routines with me. What time do you usually do your writing? Message boarding?

It's not just here. I am on two writers groups, and one general one
with old friends from 10-12 years ago. I feel like I'm in the Twilight
Zone - all alone...

I am up until 4 or 5 a.m. eastern time. I am central time which is an hour behind eastern. Whenever I get online is when I post. Sometimes it is many times a day. Other days it may only be once a day. I try to write when I first get up or in the evening when hubby starts to snooze. He wakes up later to listen to coast to coast.

You are not alone, Phil!

Sorry, Brew, that you feel all alone. I don't know about the others,
but the heat has really done a number on me this year. We're supposed
to have 'June gloom' with rainy days and cooler weather, sorta gearing
up for summer, but summer has hit, high nineties and more, and I've
barely moved.

Good for you that ideas are flowing for you. Wish you'd send the muse
this way, altho she'd probably get so annoyed with sluggish me that
she'd run back to you.

Oh. It's a little after 8pm here in Southern CA, just starting to get
dark, and my swollen eyes are beginning to open. Not sure I'm energetic
enough to check the other threads.

How long until winter????

too long

Subject: Re: Bedtime for Bonzo? Sat Jun 14, 2008 6:29 pm

That's for sure.

Hello, MS, altho my greeting is obviously late. Shame on me. Guess I'd better check the newbie thread more often.

Glad to see there are others who stay up late, Melinda and Sue. It's
also a good feeling to know that there are people besides me who listen
to C2C! I have even called in a few times... once to talk with Zecharia
Sitchin, and once to speak to an old `net buddy, Lloyd Pye. What great
minds those two have. Not to mention you can get some really great
story ideas from the more ... shall we say... alternatively oriented
guests? LOL. Then I sleep from around 5AM til whenever I get up. Then
it's on the computer for me - off and on - most of the day.

When I'm not writing directly into Word (like in the bed listening to
Coast) I have two 5-subject spiral notebooks handy for those late-night
inspirations. I have to trasnscribe them first thing the next day while
I can still read my own handwriting...

Hi there! It's about 8:20 pm here, and unless I get a lot of spare time during the day,I am usually hanging out here off and on, reading comments until around maybe 2 am (5am E. coast time) And then in the morning which is probably about noon Eastern time. Sheesh, I'm here a lot!

Hi, Brenda and Zada. We simul-posted. Yep, it's already hit the mid-nineties
here in Georgia too. Even our little backyard pool is like a sauna -
not very good for cooling off until the air gets cooler than the pool
water - usually around midnight. Then we have to share it with those
dang cute little tree frogs. They LOVE it!

I'm curious, Brew. When did you adopt the mountain man look? I think I like it, tho. It's hard to tell in such a small photo.

Oh, I'd kill for a swimming pool.

I'm just an old hippie at heart, Brenda. After I retired from
healthcare about 4 years ago I started letting what was left of my hair
grow. I usually keep it in a ponytail, but that day, up on the
mountain, I got my daughter to take that picture with my Willie Nelson
locks blowing free.

It also seems to help at booksigning events, etc. with that "eccentric
author" look. My daughter's friends tell her that she's got "a cool
dad". Not sure that's a good thing... lol

I can't believe it, Brew! We have the same setup! I go to bed the same time. I do the same thing with my laptop and when I don't use that I use notebooks as well.

I have called into C2C many times. I am known as Susie Sunshine of Illinois. The one time I remember I called and talked to Nancy Lieder of Planet X fame.

Good to know one is not alone.

I also love that look! My husband has the whiskers but not the hair.

It's been rather comfortable here, in the 60's with a light breeze. When it gets up to 90, I don't need a pool--I am a pool!! (Or would that just be a big puddle?)

In case I hadn't mentioned it before, I like your 'new' look as well, Brew.

Well, you accomplished one great thing today, Brew. You made me laugh.
