Oog. I've been writing since I woke up (hungover, no less). I am now what is known as "burnt out." Have written around 3,600 words on "The Unkindness of Ravens." Story not done yet. Bastard story. Must finish tomorrow. Not tonight, no. Was hoping to be able to stick it out for another hour, but...no. Must finish tomorrow. Story very long (as per guidelines). Am terrified of editing, especially as will still be on deadline for edit.

Worries for another time.

However, I'm pretty happy with what I've written, with the plot shenanigans and the character development, and the worldbuilding I've done.

How long does it take you to burn out?

[cloudscudding.livejournal.com]

In that particular case, about nine hours straight, minus a half-hour break for food.

See, I don't use that phrase unless I've been working those kinds of hours for weeks at a time.

For writing, I don't really get cumulative burn-out between days (or at least, I haven't yet), assuming I'm getting enough sleep.

I recharge overnight.

My creative solar panels only work at night!

Ok, so I'm a little loopy.
