I know what you mean, Chris, about not being able to sleep last week. As for me, I still can't sleep.
So what did everyone learn at the workshop? I think the most significant thing I discovered is that writers, agents, and editors are real people! Lots of them are really nice, too, especially the ones who come to BYU for WIFYR.

I learned that I need to just sit down and write a first draft through completely, ignoring all the lovely warts and inconsistencies along the way--and expecting 'the uglies.'
Writing and editing your writing are two separate and distinct processes, not tandem activities.
At least this is the way I need to approach it. Otherwise, I'll never see the end of that first draft ;)
Ditto what Cat said. I am keeping a list now where I write down the stuff that has to be fixed so I can do it later instead of now.
