In an effort to get over my funk and to keep productive, I was thinking I could:
- Think about the next story I want to write (though my next submission will be a revision of my first story, so I don't have a real push to get another started immediately)
- Think about, gulp, a novel idea I'm throwing around. I decided to abandon my first novel idea (sadly) when I realized it didn't really have enough drama, action, whatever you want to call it to sustain a whole book. It's now the short story I recently handed in. This newer idea *could* work, I think. Though I have no idea where it's going and I really need to get to know my characters. Maybe I'll work on that in these few days of downtime between submssions.
just have a hard time letting myself relax without feeling bored or unproductive.
Anyhoo... don't want this post to be too much of a therapy session! I'm off to Starbucks to
journal away my lunch hour. I know they're a big evil corporation, but something about
their stores is just soothing.

I feel the same way about Starbucks. Hope to get away later and write a poem tonight.
Sounds like you have a lot of options. Hope you decide to post your writings so we can see you at work.
Sorry to post, delete, and post again. I have a new laptop with a sensitive keyboard.
HI Bug. I'm joining you in a beautiful blah day. First day back to "work" from vacation, but not feeling motivated to start anything. I have decided to fill the void with errands, and then do some reading for the next submission. Have a good one.

What's the novel idea about, ya big tease?
Hang in there, Bug...and start working on that novel! :)
Thanks everyone! And Jan--your post/deletes are making me look very popular! DJ, I need to get it straighter in my head before I share. (And adding suspense is a good thing for writers, no? ;)
