People often ask, why aren't you reading about what it is you're working on right now? And the truth is, you only get three pages a night before your eyelids close.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In daytime, they're doing 50-60 pages a day, whereas nighttime, you do seven or eight.
I always try to read at night, because it gets me kind of tired.
Sometimes if I can't sleep and I am up in the night, I will start researching things - it could be an image I've seen, or a book I am reading.

I can almost always read a new manuscript overnight.
