*phew* Makes me cross-eyed just thinking about it... but oh-so relateable.
I used to do my initial writing entirely by hand, my first typed draft then became my 1st revision. First printing. Then reading everything over for those darned typos. Reprint. Handing over to my Reader for her edits. Reprint. Send to Editor. Wait. Get Editor feedback, make corrections. As I am able to submit to her via email, I usually only have to reprint everything three times... still... that's a shitload of paper and ink.
By the time I send it to the Editor I'm so sick of the damn thing I want to puke.
Really like your #11, btw. Gods.. trying to fix one thing can so mess up a bunch of other things.
As for the chocolate and alcohol. Not for me.. I work best 1st thing in the morning with a cup of coffee... or two... or three. Once those kids are up and out of bed, forget it. The rest of the writing day is shot.
