I had to take a break from my usual writing routine yesterday. Now I find I can't settle.
You wouldn't believe how many chores I have found in the last half hour that I simply had to do and three cups of coffee is a wee bit excessive. If I was half as creative with my writing...
Any tips that don't involve glue and chairs welcomed.
I'm just taking a break, the desk is littered with books and someone has just arrived with a suitcase full (for credit) all 143 of them, they all need putting away. So I made a coffee instead ...
Do we have a built in desire not to finish????? My book was finished at a cracking pace and has gone through three edits, synopsis virtually written but now I seem to have a barrier to the finish and submit stage. I am not interested in any financial returns (I am old, retired and comfortably off). I think that I just dont want to know if someone else thinks it is rubbish! I think my novel is brilliant so I am always finding oher tasks unimportant bits of writing, accounts, letters just to delay the day. What do you think?
With Neph and I at the moment it's a case of sanity. We are both suffering from school holiday interuptus!
Hark to the fight going on in the background between two of mine.
erotic second hand books, yes. What the customer brought in was 143 of Olympia's books, our books. Some I could do with, I jumped on them immediately, rare titles I can sell through the catalogue without trouble, as they come back in so rarely, the others will have to be found shelf space, eventually. My hands are aching today, I will leave it until tomorrow.

I'm only taking a break whilst I think about my next sentence...honestly.
