I’ve always been one to need my 7-8 hours of sleep a night ... which doesn’t work well when I necessarily go on tears and manage only about 4-5 hours. Some nights it’s due to late hours at the keyboard; others, because I’m so keyed up that sleep doesn’t come. Afterward, there comes the crash period.
I emailed my revision of The Seventh Level to my editor around noon on Monday. In a perfect world, I would have been able to fall onto something cushiony and stay there for days on end. And have someone feed me grapes. Or at least fetch me carry out. However, family responsibilities and activities have kept me from truly crashing. At least I’ve been able to sleep soundly at night, knowing I achieved my revision goals – substantially slimming down the manuscript while feeling confident about the content changes.
