I wasn't reading in bed. Mostly. More like sitting in a chair most of the time. I did read in bed recently without similar issues.

Then you know what you should do next time.

Drejk, a question: you use Blogspot for your Shaper of World's blog, yes? Do you like its interface? I need to set up some online blog presence and I'm weighing my options
It's tolerable. Its main advantage it is part of google account so I don't have to bother with logging into yet another system.
I had issues with formatting in the past, especially when copying text from other mediums, such as Google Docs or text editors, mainly with line spacing where I had to manually reformat the text every time I changed something in the text. If you would scroll through past post you could notice inconsistencies in formatting. The formatting option leave much to desire as well, you can make more fancy formatting beyond the basic editor that is part of the blogspot interface by manually adding proper HTML tags. I avoid doing so to avoid watching the terrible mess of HTML that is each individual post (though someone with actual experience with webpage design could say that this is a expected mess, I dunno).
If you plan on using fancy formatting and playing a lot with fonts and such, or if you prefer to write the text in other medium and then copy it into blogspot, I'd check the other options. There were moments when I was fed up and only thing that kept me up was the amount of material I already had up. It behaves ok currently, though I try to avoid copying text from other sources.

Thanks for the input. One takeaway from the freelancing seminar I attended was that Google+ is the hotbed for TTRPG people and writers. Although I am loath to expand into yet another social media platform (and with eight years in on Facebook, not really set to abandon House Zuckerberg) I think I will have to try and 'hangout' there more often.

A slightly aching back upon awaking would be a godsend. It generally feels like nails have been driven into my spine.
And ugh, Google+. I'm on it in several incarnations and don't find it fun or easy to use. One of my online classes used it for a social platform with spectacularly mediocre results.
EDIT: I am a ball of good cheer today! Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer. It's sunny and beautiful here today, I have coffee, my roommate started school so I will have days for the next 8 weeks to myself, and I'm still alive!

A very good way to start the day! ;)
Happy Monday Treeforters!
(Talk about an oxymoron,... 'Happy' and 'Monday' really shouldn't be used in the same sentence. Ever.) ;P
