You know how people will sometimes advice others to "take a step back" and/or "wait until the morning" aka "sleep on it"? That actually works.

It seems my inspiration (in all its eagerness) took off with me, brain buzzing with ideas, which in turn led to very little sleep. Additionally, it occurred to me yesterday that I hadn't even napped at all these past couple of days! That meant my system was basically running on fumes and consequently I felt a bit out of it.

(self-effacement running high, objectivity regarding creativity out the window, etc)

Sensing a distinct lack of coherency, my brain somehow finally got through to me that pushing harder would only make things worse. I mustered up the willpower to decide that nothing was allowed out seeing as my filters were worn down and had no fighting chance against the amassed rambunctious thoughts. While my inspiration doubted the power of resting, it conceded to defeat very quickly, haha.

After a good night's sleep, followed by mind-numbingly relaxed napping, I feel refreshed. Something else that contributed to lifting my spirits was taking this screencap:
