The Lighter Side of Absolute Zero

I got this crazy idea while working on a story. What if we were to think of our stories as a sequence of conflicts which in turn serve to resolve The Conflict of the story? Sounds like a no-brainer to me; in fact it sounds like the way we tend to write stories; I’ll go further and say we do write stories that way, but rarely so consciously.

So now I wonder how my stories would differ if I were to think of my stories as a series of scenes, each one having a conflict that drives it, and each scene resolving it’s conflict and progressing to the next.

(As to my long absence it’s due to a new job and the changes that entails.)

What is it about bedtime? There is something about staying up past your normal bedtime that for me brings about a relaxation I cannot achieve at any other time of day or night. Even if it’s dark and I can turn down the lights, close the curtains and pretend it’s past bedtime it still doesn’t feel the same.

Late nights is when my creativity sparks. I feel the most productive, the most alive, and the most relaxed late at night. But why?
