I always sleep very, very poorly when I post a chapter.  I go through these tremendous bouts of self doubt during the writing, the posting, and the review wherein I always discover the typos and things That Bother Me.  It does not really improve until I see some reviews, vain and foolish that I am.  I am an unbelievably poor judge of what resonates with readers.  I found Edmund's long discussion with Peter repetitive and dull, and, certain parts overwrought, certain transitions painful, etc. etc.  While I like the fact that it is lighter at night, I'll spend the next 3 weeks trying to recover my lost hour due to DST.  Plus, the laptop AC adapter died.
