Is a story ever finished? Are you ever done tweaking? How many edits is enough?
I'm going on 3 hours of sleep after a night of writing, editing, reading, done, oh-wait-this sentence is better, writing, editing, reading, ah-one more change, and repeat. My inability to keep my eyes open any longer ended the cycle. Still, I'm happy with the result - though I did spend another hour or so in the cycle this morning. That's how it goes with me. I actually enjoy deadlines because it means I HAVE to finish. I see deadlines as a relief to endless edits and obsessing.
