Imprisoned By Free Time
Free time can be a blessing, but the saying “Idle hands are the devil’s plaything” didn’t come out of thin air!
I just turned in book 2 to Berkley last week. This past weekend, I felt light as a feather, elated that I was obligation free in the writing department. That feeling didn’t last long. I’m itching again, eager to move on to something new. But, at the same time, I really want to take advantage of being deadline free by catching up on reading, cleaning, and several other things I neglected these last couple of months. Wanting to do both has prevented me from doing either. When I sit to write, I get up to clean. When I pick up a book, I put it down and reach for my laptop. Sigh. A vicious cycle, this free time. I don’t like it much.
To my editor should she ever visit here… another deadline please. It keeps me sane!
