Yesterday I finished my current round of work on Courting Apparitions, the second volume in my Fashion and Fiends series that I am currently pitching to agents. Well, currently waiting to hear from one agent before I send the next batch of queries out.
I am exhausted, and I don't know whether it's the work-write-school-life balance is out-of-whack (potentially, school ends in TWO WEEKS. Next week is the last week of classes. Finals! Ack!)
or that odd mental exhaustion that accompanies finishing a project.
Do you experience this? The sense of overwhelming relief and pride as you tie up loose ends and I the pleasure as you think about the good job you did... coupled with a smidge of grief that it's done, because it has been a focus. These feelings leave me tired and a tad lost feeling. It's the lost feeling that motivates most writers to undertake a new project.
I have to survive the school year first.

you betcha Angel. It a wonderful feeling as you finish a project, but there is a longing for it when it's gone. With some luck you put that energy into a new project
ReplyDeleteI too must survive the school year.
Congrats. It's safely backed up here.
