I've been 'in between projects' for quite a while now, but nothing is leaping out at me as being a fantastic idea to pursue. And it's been a long time since I felt this way. It's not like I don't have things I could be working on. Stumped is out with beta readers, so I don't need to be playing with that one, but I'm not feeling any great pull toward revising the big pile of poo that is Paradise either.
But if I'm not revising, I should be writing, right? But how can I write something when I don't have a story that's burning to be told?
Is this a sign I need to be taking a break for a while? I did write 4 books in the last year. Maybe my brain is trying to tell me something.
Has this ever happened to you?
Well -- er -- kinda off topic, but I ran across a movie review of a foreign film (because the guy lives is Austria) and I thought of you.

Looks like an interesting one! I may see if I can get it for the horror film fest later in the year.
DeleteTake just a little bit of a break. If the brain needs to refresh, it's best to let it. But make sure you push back in after a couple of weeks - don't let the brain get lazy on you.

You're probably right... I just need to find an idea that feels worth pursuing.
DeleteAgree... a small break may be all you need to get back into the swing of things:)
