Year-End Clean-Up

jon_chaissonOn the one hand, I feel guilty that I've been quite lax with my writing over the last few weeks. I've done a bit of work on the outline for the Apartment Complex story and reread Meet the Lidwells, and I've kept up with the blogs, but I haven't done any daily words in a while, nor have I started on the needed secondary MtL revision. I feel super lazy over the last few days.
On the other hand, I've been using all this time to do all the 'I'll Do It Later' things that have piled up, such as cleaning up my email inboxes, working out my 2018 plans, doing a bit of a book purge, house errands, and so on. So it's not as if I've truly been lazy. I've just temporarily switched priorities and used the last few weeks as a respite.
I'm still feel like I'm at the Making Plans But Not Actually Doing Anything level, though, which I guess is my own fault, considering that I'm relying on the time-honored schedule of starting it all back up on January 1, like I always do. But then I remind myself: I haven't had a true Christmas vacation (other than the days off from work if they're a weekday) in ages, so I can consider this year-end laziness as my own version of the winter break. It gives me time to recharge and get ready for the next year.
