5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?
Just faffing around on the internet interruptions 😉

I’m amazed at how many people are doing it this time and how much activity is going on on Twitter.
7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
Nope (well not from this tired brain).

Try to go to bed later on Friday and have a proper lie in on the Saturday.

Lots of water. Half the time the tiredness is deydration.

The hydration tip is a good one. PLUS it's very hard to fall asleep too thoroughly if you're having to pee every five minutes. 😀
Good luck for the next stage of the readathon, you're doing SO WELL, I'm impressed with us both for managing to stay coherent this long. I've also been baffled by the amount of chattering going on around Twitter, I feel like if I go down that rabbit hole that'll be the next hour gone! Damn you, social media sirens, luring me with your clickable links of goodness. Aaaaand there's 1am talking. >:)
Hmm, good point on the water, I wouldn't have thought of that. Especially if you're focusing on the caffeine.
Water. Good idea. I'm going to get some just as soon as I finish this round of cheering. You're doing great! I hope I can make it to 19-20 hours! #teamwordsworth
Dude, you're an hour 15 winner! (Is it hour 15? I've lost all feeling of time…) CONGRATULATIONS! 😀
Congrats on your win! And I hope you can get some sleep before your mini-challenge.
