Shouldn’t “fiction written” be the horizontal factor since it is what drives your ability to slip, not the other way around?
If you had a deadline, that slope be the inverse…
I guess this graph applies more to authors than politicians. They write fiction all the time, but somehow manage to sleep at night.
Don’t worry. Sleep is less important when you’re being creative.
Finally a reason for my occasional insomnia. Thanks!
I agree with Murray, sometimes it’s the inverse, but it’s true, so easy to sleep when the day’s words are done.
Yeah, I agree with them, too. It seems the inverse would be more true.
also, if you never sleep, you have hallucinations…. if you wrote that down it would be like crazy awesome fiction
Maxo says “Shouldn’t “fiction written” be the horizontal factor since it is what drives your ability to sl[ee]p, not the other way around?”
Why would this ever be the case? Writers get far more work done when they can’t sleep because they have far more time – 8 hours is a long time to cut out of every day.
Unless of course, as Fuiru points out, said writer is trying to pass his/her work for non-fiction and consequently can’t sleep due to the effect of cognitive dissonance.
But that’s beside the point.
Likewise with the comments on the inverse slope…..If that were the message being conveyed the axes would be swapped.
I definitely interpret this as the amount on CAN write being dependent on one’s lack of sleep. I hope someone out there agrees… >.>
Seriously people….
“Horror fiction written”
Unclear cause versus effect. Does one get more writing done when one sleeps less? Or does the act of writing so many words (and perhaps the coffee consumed in the process) wire one to the point of not being able to sleep?
i agree with you too… :)
it’s funny how this could be interpreted from the standpoint of either the reader OR the writer

i agree with u Row!
Totally true … especially when you work full-time and are trying to get your book finished.
or it could just be daylight savings time. :D

Should be “fiction to write”? Fiction “written” cannot decrease – its already written. And if it is unwritten over time, anxiety over not having written anything would keep one up, no?
Or, assuming it is other’s fiction written, if there were no fiction written, there would be no fiction to read, hence nothing to keep one up at night, ie, page turners.
