I've had enough go-arounds with the desire to write something keeping me awake way too late to be sure that causal mixing at least is a definite possibility. Is that overly contrarian ?
No, that's not overly contrarian. OTOH, that's just what I did last night, and I feel like I was hit by a truck today. Plus I now think that what I wrote sucks dusty rocks. (Too late. Sent it off to editor anyway.)
Evidence suggests that while staying up late doesn;t necessarily reduce my ability to do good stuff, it does reduce my ability to tell whether I'm doing good stuff; but then, that almost always takes a couple of months for me to get some judgement on anyway.
External commentary seems to indicate that what I wrote doesn't suck dusty rocks, but they could just be flattering me (as they're my partners and not my editors).
It's mostly the hit by a truck feeling and general mood plunge that I could do without right now. I know how to cope with artistic doubts.
