I’m freaking out. Just a little.
See, last night, I submitted a short story. You know, right after I finished that damned novel draft.
That was exciting.
I haven’t been posting because I’ve been rushing like mad to get those done. That, and the drama festival. The kids were fantastic, the shows were generally amazing, and research-wise the whole trip was pure gold. Even if cultural appropriation ran rampant at times and made me question the direction of our future.
But that’s a rant for another day, and just a few moments out of an otherwise great weekend.
Making myself sit down to write this post has been hard. I’d like to blame it on burnout, but that’s a rocky road to travel so early in the post-project haze and runs the risk of being little more than an excuse to stare blankly.
Today ended up being a partial snow day, during which I have accomplished absolutely nothing. Here’s hoping that’s out of my system, and I can actually get things done tomorrow!
