So I'm writing this post as a breather, of sorts. I haven't posted anything here for a week or two and it's because I'm on writing overload! Which begs the question: how much writing can writers handle?
In addition to not blogging, I also haven't edited my book in four or five days. And it's because I haven't had the mental stamina after a very busy freelance week. And I suppose I'm a little disappointed in myself. Bah.
But then I turn it around and go, well, should I really be disappointed? I'm churning out thousands of words every day - they just don't happen to be for my book. So maybe I need to turn that frown upside down Charlie Brown. Awesome rhyme. I digress.
Yes, writing overload is possible. And I'm very close to my edge, but I also need to pay bills. So that means I've got to face the overload head on and just git 'er dun. That was really bad Texas slang. Ignore that.
Tomorrow I'll be devoting a chunk of my day to editing my book. I've had this on the calendar for a while, and I'm determined to still make it happen. I'm 75 percent done now and I can't lose the momentum. Plus, I've only got a month and a half to finish!
I think I'm going to need more caffeine (except my doctor took away my caffeine...pesky details).
You will get around to your personal stuff when you can. At least, this is what I keep telling myself, too. Outside of 3words, I've not written any new fiction in weeks because of editing, although I am hoping to keep weekends for me now. We shall see. But like you say - bills must be paid and clients should be kept happy. Good luck with the juggling - I've no doubt you can do it. :)
