Coming back from hiatus
Mar. 12th, 2019 02:46 pm If I've learned anything over the course of my two-and-a-half-month hiatus, it's that I REALLY need to be doing something productive on a daily basis, no matter how small. Otherwise I end up becoming lazy, overly introverted and a lot more moody. (Well, more like releaning...I've gone through this cycle before, so I was well aware of what was happening once I noticed the familiar patterns.) As much as I enjoyed the lower stress levels and the lack of deadlines other than a single novel release, I need to get back to work.
I'll be spending time this week coming up with ideas and planning out how I'd like to return to my creative outlets and be more social than I've been the last few months. I'll definitely be returning to the two WordPress blogs, but I'm going to keep it simple only do one entry a week for each of them for a while. I'll be posting here on a more consistent basis.
And I most DEFINITELY need to get back into doing my daily 750. I've let that one lapse for much too long. I think it was partly due to finishing off both novels and nothing new to write, and needing to take a break so I could focus on revision work, but now that one of the two books are out in the wild, I need to restart work there. As with before, I don't plan on forcing anything...I just want to get back in the habit, even if it's writing some random flash fiction. I mean, I've written three novels that grew out of such exercises, so why change up what works, right? Heh.
Personal: Things are going to change up pretty soon for various reasons: A has a new job (yay!!) which is not from home at this time (boo!!), and various Day Job issues on my end may change at some future point (not sure when), so I'll need to rethink my hours and output anyway. I'm also in need of getting back on the exercise gig again, so I'll need to carve out some time for that as well.
Anyway! Enough blathering. I need to take my afternoon break and get up off my butt for a few minutes.
More soon!
