I managed to not write anything last week, despite promising I would continue to work on my NaNo book.
I ended up getting my final round of edits from my publisher, plus my cover, so rather than writing, I spent time making publicity plans and looking for potential reviewers for STUMPED.
This week willl be more of the same. I hope I might squeeze some words in too, but given it's the end of the year for the kids, and we have parent teacher nights, prize-givings and all that palavar to deal with as well, I'm not going to beat myself up too much if I don't write.
I also have a huge project to finish at work before the 19th, so I may be doing a few late nights to get through that as well.
I hate it when I don't have the brain space or the energy to write, but I also know I don't do good writing when I feel that way, so pushing it now is a waste of time. I'd just end up deleting everything I wrote anyway when I got to revising.
What are your goals this week?
Unfortunately sometimes we just can't write for some reason. We need more hours in the day, really. Hopefully once STUMPED is released you'll find some time again.
