Subs, sleep
We ended up with 22 submissions in our first 24 hours of being open again, falling 2 short of the record (24 submissions in a day) set a couple years ago.
Most people are following the new formatting guidelines (specifically, most people are putting certain useful bits of information right up at the top where I can find them easily to enter into the database), which is very cool, but I've noticed one interesting pattern: people really seem to be reluctant to round off their word counts. Everywhere I mention word count, I say to round it to the nearest hundred words (because the point of including a word count is to give us a rough approximate idea of how long the story is; we'll re-count before paying for the story anyway), and I round to the nearest hundred when entering the info into the database, but most of the word counts on stories submitted still give a precise number of words.
Had a fairly productive day yesterday: made a lot of progress on editing (though not quite as much as I'd hoped), dusted off an old project that shouldn't take long to finish, did some dishes (!), did some database cleanup that will save me a lot of time in the future. (In particular, automated the assigning of stories to editors; figuring out who's next in line often takes me about 30 seconds per story, so automating this probably saves me a couple hours a month.) Spent the evening hanging out with Kam. After she went home, I found myself suddenly awake, so I did a little more editing, finally going to bed around 3:30. At which point I couldn't sleep. I should've gotten up and done more editing, but I kept thinking that I was surely about to get sleepy any second now.
I ended up getting somewhere between 2 and 5 hours of sleep, probably toward the low end of that. I feel more or less fine now, but we'll see if I can make it through the day without crashing. On the bright side, I've had more sleep in the past two weeks than in months before that—have been sleeping well and (for me) long most nights—so I can probably handle a night of little sleep.
