120623 Saturday: All-Nighters...

[0jack]

Yes, I was visited by the Bad Idea Bear again. It talked me into staying up all night to finish some edits. I did get it done, and wrote about 3000 words of fiction in the last 24 hours. How I feel right now is proof positive (sucky proof) that I'm not as young as I once was. It was good for focus, though, I'll tell you that much. *g*

Why can't I be that productive when I'm not falling flat on my face with exhaustion? Do all-nighters help anyone else focus?

I think you will be having a msmcknittington hosting you for some of next week. After that, if you've got time to help out in July, let me know. The community is paid for so you can post polls to your heart's content and I also have the poll code up on my website if you just want to copy pasta. :)
