Lucky for me it's not on strike, just wondering what the heck it's supposed to be thinking about. :D <br /><br />And yes, it is nice to be totally present with the people I am with.Elizabeth Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214706118828699708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100373839462710495.post-46894025001309905772011-03-01T18:20:53.577-05:002011-03-01T18:20:53.577-05:00Good for you for realizing you needed a break.

My brain just went on strike. :)<br /><br />I need to make some important changes to chapter one and then start querying again too, but I'm waiting until my muse comes back from vacation. whenever that might be.<br /><br />It's nice to be with friends and family though isn't it? I mean really with them, not sitting close by while your mind is in another world somewhere. Enjoy it!Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100373839462710495.post-73747364389167713422011-03-01T12:32:10.135-05:002011-03-01T12:32:10.135-05:00Well yeah.

I am going to try in the future to not do too much for too long. It's really drained me, and I can feel myself coming back to normal. I also think I will spend more balanced time between reading and writing.Elizabeth Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214706118828699708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100373839462710495.post-67928432701390675672011-03-01T11:46:38.680-05:002011-03-01T11:46:38.680-05:00Before I got my nook, I'd write until my batte...Before I got my nook, I'd write until my batteries ran out then I'd read for three weeks. Just devour books until I felt the pull to write again. That's changed because now I read on the subway every day. Still, there are days where I just don't have a story in me and I read on the train as well.<br /><br />Right now, I'm beta reading for one person and editing two different mss of my own. It's really sucked all my creativity. I do not have an impulse to work on anything new. It'll be the middle of March at the earliest before I start on original works again, I think.Joseph L.
