It’s a little frustrating when I’m so close to finishing a draft and don’t end up having time to write any during the day. I try to avoid writing in the evenings, because my brain has a hard time shifting out of writing mode and I lie awake mentally writing the book in my head.
I suppose I could just get up and write for real, but I always figure being in bed is more restful than being up, even if I’m not sleeping. Plus I’m not entirely convinced that anything I write in the middle of the night will actually be any good. I suspect it isn’t, no matter how brilliantly the whole story is playing out in my head.
In non-writerly news, I’m seriously considering dyeing my hair red again. I did it that way a few years ago and it looked amazing. The problem with red is that it fades so quickly. At least it does for me. Black fades quickly too. Pretty much the only sustainable hair color for me bleached blonde, as long as I don’t mind the brassy, obviously dyed look.
Sometimes I don’t mind it. I saw some older pictures of myself and I thought the red hair looked really good, as well as when my hair had been dyed blonde, but had grown out long enough so that just the ends were blonde and the rest was brown.
Logically, I know I should probably just leave my hair as is and be grateful it’s not gray. Sometimes I just get this urge, like I have to change my hair color. I don’t know why. There’s nothing wrong with my shade of brown, it’s perfectly pretty, if you like that sort of thing. I think I just get tired of it and want a change.
I’m always envious of Siri and Vivenna in Warbreaker, how they can grow their hair instantly and change it’s color based on how they feel. That’s the dream. That and having three gowns made especially for me presented to me every morning. (#goals)
