Summary
Richie doesn’t sleep.
He’s not tired, not really. Sleep has never come easy to him, even when he was a kid. Too much anxious energy thrumming in his veins to sit still for more than a few minutes at a time let alone lie in a bed till morning. That hasn’t changed with age. He tells himself that’s why he stays up, staring at a blank word document as he tries to come up with some new material, his own material.
After Derry, he told his manager he wouldn’t perform unless it was with his own stuff. That had resulted in the termination of his ten year contract with the one person that managed to get him booked. But that’s okay. He can still make it work. He can be funny. He can be real with the audience. He can make them laugh without talking about all the women his manager said he's fucked. He can be honest. He can be funny. He can be real.Richie doesn't sleep. Richie doesn't take care of himself. Richie doesn't dream.
