Definitely agree about writing unbelievable things - in the best sense.
Must be like running the marathon (not that I have). It's amazing how you manage to keep going, churning those words out

I remember last year as an incredibly intense but extraordinarily supportive session. I was writing alone, but the team spirit was completely inspiring. There was a "cafe" area where we congregated in the exhausted moments between finishing one story and starting another. We all knew what each other was going through; tremendous camaraderie built up.
In the early hours strange things happen to you. Stories come out which you are only partly aware of. You can read a story the next morning and it feels fresh - you don't even know how it is going to end. It's the closest you can ever get to reading your own stories objectively.
And these stories are coming straight out of your mind, with no authorial intervention at all. It's no surprise that some don't work, but the ones that do, well they can be amongst the best things you'll ever do.
Last year I wrote 21 stories in the night/day. Of those, 8 have been published in journals or ezines. That's a hit rate far in excess of my normal. Something happens in a night like this - you start doing things you're not completely in control of.
That's a VERY good thing. Try it.
