The Writer’s Fatigue

inuke in #hive-197685 • 9 days ago

‘Hey Folks,
Today is day 12 of writing. And I can assure you that the mental fatigue is kicking in.’
Before I could start with my post. I heard.

“WTF… what are you yapping about mental fatigue.” inuke popped up and surprised me.
“Oh!! Hey, Nothing just trying to write about the Fatigue that I am facing because of the daily writing challenge.” I explain.
“Are you sure it is because of the challenge and has nothing to do with the 5Hrs sleep that you have been giving yourself for like last 3 days?” inuke asked.
“Nope, nothing like that. I feel physically fine. My body is not craving any sleep at this time. Actually, I am doing great with the 5Hrs sleep. After all, I am built like a wolf. A fierce animal in a grey fur coat. Raarrwer..” I don't know why I did that.
“EEEssshhh..” Inuke cringed. “You need sleep. You can finish thsi post tomorrow.”
“No!! Ek baar jo meine commitment kar di to aapne aap ki bhi nahi sunta.” I let out the Bollywood dialogue [Eng Translation - Once I have made a commitment, then I don’t even listen to myself.]
“Listen bro, You don't know what you are writing, what you are saying and the mental capacity to review your work. Bhai, Take some rest.” inuke kinda pleaded.
“I am telling you I am fine physically, it is just I am not able to think properly and write. The motivation is kinda down.”
“And you don't think sleep deprivation has anything to do with that?”
“Your reluctance to listen to me and understand what I am trying to say should be proof enough.” inuke tried making a point.
“Nope, You only taught me to say No to everything.” I countered.
“I asked you to learn to say No. There is a difference.” Inuke said.
“No, I am saying NO to you. I will not stop and listen to you. Instead, I am going to listen to my inner self and get the Post ready..”
“Arey dude!! IAM YOUR INNER SELF.. What is wrong with you?” inuke burst.
“Huh!!, Thats correct. But I still want to write the post. This is awesome. I think I got this into my brain, You remember the habit thing 21 days and you can make anything a habit. I guess writing daily is my Habit now.” I smiled and replied.
“That's 21 days, and you have been writing for 12 days. Just halfway through. By that logic, it is not a writing habit. Don't you think?” inuke asked.
“Who knows maybe I am too awesome and have unlocked the potential,” I said proudly.
“Your potential can go and suck my… Listen. I think we should take a small break and recharge ourselves and pick up where we left. What you say?” inuke suggested the same old method of sleep and recharge, Not knowing that I am built different
“Don't worry dude I am going to write and claim that monthly writer Badge. Then I am going to write a post explaining how I dide ti nad wil inspire more of the Hivians to writs dayil..
ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You sound similar to me when I (very stupidly) stayed up for a week straight. I clearly remember saying to an online friend who had been similarly begging me to go to bed that "I AM INVINCIBLE! I NEVER NEED TO SLEEP AGAIN!" directly before passing out.

_{that gave me some kind of brain damage I started feeling a couple or so years ago}

Inuke is right for a change (broken clock and all XD), get some sleep ;D

LoL there's not even a good story to go with it. I was working on a uni assignment and realised it was pretty late, but I was nearly done so I decided to push through. When I was done I had to wake up in a few hours anyway so I was like okay whatever I'll start the next one for that class (all nighter 1).

I started the next one, may have gone to uni, pretty sure I finished the assignment (the class was so easy for me I had the tutor's permission to not attend classes and just turn in assignments), then did some work for another class, same thing happened (nearly done, may as well push through, all nighter 2).

I don't have uni for the rest of the week, do some work on other assignments for other classes, friends came over, we stay up most of the night marathoning Baldur's Gate, I decide to just see how long I can stay up (my online friend thinks I should go to sleep, all nighter 3).

I can't remember much of all nighter's 4-6/7, the last thing I recall was sitting in front of my computer doing I honestly can't even remember what with my kittens on my lap and my online friend texts something along the lines of "please, please, please tell me you got some sleep" to which I responded "I AM INVINCIBLE! I NEVER NEED TO SLEEP AGAIN!"

"Shortly" afterwards, I woke up in bed, checked my watch and noted it was somewhere between 10 and 12 (can't remember precisely what time), glanced outside, it was dark, figure right I slept for 12 hours, probably needed it. Rolled out of bed and sauntered into the kitchen, my housemate saw me and immediately burst into gales of laughter. Asked him what was so funny, he eventually composed himself enough to respond that I'd been asleep for two days. I then spent about 10mins verifying (and double checking everything I could double check on including my laptop which they couldn't mess with because password) that it was in fact Wednesday and not Tuesday like I thought.

Not a good story??
This was epic. Hahaha!!!
It's one of the best college experiences out there. You ever wondered what happened on Day 4-7 I mean the zombie period?

Reminded me of the time, when I passed out and missed a paper. But it involved booze, going shirtless on the street and screaming my girlfriend's name in front of the Ladies Hostel.
Good thing my brain developed.
