Last year I was a writing maniac. I wrote and wrote and wrote until I couldn’t write anymore. I told myself, ‘Next year you’ll write even more! You’ll be a writing machine!’
Yeah, well we’re closing in on the second month of ‘08 and the writing machine is so not happening.
I think I burned myself out a little teeny tiny bit. I’m wondering if I needed this break. Don’t get me wrong, I have been writing. In fact, I sent off a partial to an editor yesterday and my fingers are now permanently crossed (makes it hard to type, no? Maybe that’s my problem?). But I haven’t been at my usual full speed ahead pace.
Sven is starting again March 1st. The last round I must admit I kicked major ass. I wrote a LOT. So I signed up again, I have some things I want to work on and so I’m taking a mini writing break until March 1st rolls around.
I have writerly-type things going on that I’ll be working on until then. And also a bathroom to finish painting (so close!), another room to paint (only one wall!) and I need to purge my house of all the useless crap I kick at every day. So it’s not like I’m reclining in my chair doing nothing.
Damn it.
