Slow Pace

After the grinding two weeks writing the Blood Interrogator Companion Anthology, I found I was a lot more tired than I thought I would be. I wouldn’t go as far as to say I was mentally exhausted, but it did take a lot out of me. I took a couple of days off of writing and then dedicated myself to writing a couple of pieces of flash fiction.


Thinking back, this is what happened for both book drafts. I don’t feel all that mentally drained until I’ve completed the work, and then I deflate. I’ve decided not to push myself when this happens. I don’t have the experience to know if it makes more sense to rest or push through it, but I’ve decided to rest when I feel tired. I may do some light writing, or throw down some ideas for new projects, but nothing that requires hours and hours of concentration.


Next week I will be revising Null City. That’s going to keep me occupied for a while.
