jon_chaisson*whew*!
Okay, the synopsis and two chapters of A Division of Souls were cleaned up and formatted, and emailed last night to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dancinghorse for critiquing. I'm kind of nervous and excited at the same time on this one. Y'all know how attached I am to the Eden Cycle books. ;)
So! This means that, after a few weeks of focusing only on that, I get to return to my writing schedule. I've been looking forward to getting back to it for a few weeks now. I had some interesting reactions to not following the regimen during all that intensive writing and editing...my first reaction of course was that of annoyance, that I was being lazy and a failure. Then came Editor Brain to remind me that what I was doing was Extremely Important, so I calmed down. Then, near the end, came the anticipation of getting back into the groove and getting some serious writing work done again. It occurred to me that I do tend to feel that annoyance a lot when I'm not doing any new writing...specifically when I'm revising and/or editing. It sometimes crops up when I'm outlining too, but that's more impatience than annoyance--forget the planning, let's get some writing done! NOW! :p
So yeah...starting today I'm back to my normal writing schedule. You'll be seeing a lot more poetry on my Dreamwidth blog and pictures on my Tumblr. I'm probably still going to be somewhat quiet when it comes to Facebook and Twitter--two sites that eat my brain like the FreeCell game once did--but at least it won't be a blackout.
Ah, back to life, back to reality.
