I'm in the "pacing" part of my workflow, because I have both a newsletter and a Patreon on the go. (Newsletter first. Patreon after.) I also want to make more progress on the novel, but sleep is apparently a human requirement.
There's a Borges story, "The Secret Miracle", where a man facing the firing squad prays for one more year to finish his play. His god provides by freezing time long enough for him to craft a mental masterpiece, though no one else will ever see it.
Tempting, right now! π
