Blink. Blink blink.
Me: Brain, why are you awake?
Brain: Because there is still work to do on the book!
Me: No, we finished draft 2 of revisions. We're taking a break this week.
Brain: La la la! Not listening!
Me: Go. To sleep.
Brain: There's no time for sleep!! Too much to do!
Me: We're not working on the book this week. Your new laundry list of things to be tweaked is crazy talk. We need a break to see who's right.
Brain: I'm right. I'm always right.
Me: *snort*
Brain: Shut up.
Me: How about you shut up and we got back to sleep?
Brain: Not when there's work to be done!
Me: WEARENOTWORKINGONTHEBOOK! WEARETAKINGABREAK!
Brain: What is this break you speak of?
Me: It's where we don't write for a few days. We read a book.
Brain: Our book?
Me: No, someone else's.
Brain: *shrieks* I wanna read our book! I must have it! I must needle it and tweak it and never let it reeeeeeeeeeeeeest!
Me: See? This is why we're taking a goddamn break.
Brain: *whimper* But... but... I neeeeeed it.
