The Good and the So-So
Oct. 26th, 2011 09:14 pmFor those wondering, Ros' fever finally yesterday. She couldn't go back to school yet, so we spent a pretty awesome Mommy & Rozzy day hanging out. There was nail polish involved, as well as a visit to the Ontario Science Centre, which is her favourite museum. And on a weekday afternoon, there is absolutely no waiting for any of the exhibits, which is awesome.
In other news, I'm still otherwise feeling at loose ends and incapable of writing. Totally the effects of finishing the Big Bang story, of course. Which the Sweetie finally twigged to tonight.
Sweetie: I've noticed that you always get ennui when you finish a big story.
Me: Yeah. And I've known that for years. For about a day I think how productive I'm going to be and how much more I can write. And then I mope around for a week while my head sorts itself out.
Sweetie: Oh.
And we've only been living together for, oh, fourteen years. ;-)

Nah, try to think of it as resting on your laurels. :D

I'm pecking away at my novel but otherwise, I'm blah right now about writing fanfic. But I do have an S&H idea bubbling so that might very well be my next project. I think it takes a lot out of you to do a big project so you need a bit of time, is all.

But yeah, I'm letting myself take at least a little bit of fallow time. Not that my muse is giving me a choice in the matter.
