Hmm, binge writing. It's not why I skip breakfast, but it's a good reason not to. I'd like to gently write four pages a day, and then read and make notes or do work for three or four hours.

But no, it's two or three days of deadline enhanced draft making, section structuring, or paper writing. Six or seven hours at a time. No overnights, mind you. But early mornings and many cafe trips with printouts and pens. And then two or three days time two or more of days of nearly useless scratching and skimpy task mastering.

I suppose I get as much done as I might, when the wind blows in, and I make less a mess of myself and my papers than some writers I know. But, as in everything, I wish I had a smoother pace.

On the other hand, chocolate and peanut butter banana smoothies have a good pace, too. And egg and tomato tortillas are all about binge writer breakfasts for fast breaks between layers.
