I am not writing!
Yep you heard me. I am not writing. That is I am but I’m not. I have many personal edits to do and other things to get done including some additions to the website but I am not writing anything new until the new year…which when you think about it isn’t that far off but it was still a difficult decision. It shouldn’t have been. I mean I still have lots to do but trying ‘not’ to write can be difficult for a writer. I had to accept though that I need some sort of break, so as we’re not going away until Christmas to visit family and I’ve had no time to read lately — no really! NO. TIME. AT. ALL. — I made a difficult decision. I would do editing. I would do other ‘writing-related’ projects but I wouldn’t write anything new.
You have no idea what a relief that decision was. I feel as if I can breathe again. I’ve got some sorting out to do in the house and I want to read and when I’m not doing that I’ll be editing and when not editing, I’ll be reading. How’s that for being decisive? Which isn’t really like me at all. There are stories calling to me but I must ignore them. I must, I must! I’m useless, aren’t I? LOL. But I’ve made myself a promise and it’s one I mean to keep.
I don’t know why I’m making such a fuss really. It’ll be January before I know and I’ll be wondering if I had a break from writing at all! And yes, I know I’ve been ‘fairly’ quiet this year but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been writing.
