If I waited to read it until the next morning, coffee in hand? ;-)
Thank you for typing all of this in and adding your comments. I'm on the verge of starting my quest for publication (making a final dip, fluff and comb run through my novel) so this is both timely and interesting for my part. I think the best thing is to hear that, scary as all the legalese can be, these clauses are rarely invoked. Otherwise it feels like signing away my first-born child. (On a given day, I might sign him away. But my first novel? EEEK!)
Does it count as still awake...
