I wrote and edited so much during November that, as a consequence, I burned out a little and thus have written/edited way less during December. Naturally, I’m starting to freak out about it. But I also feel glad for unwittingly taking some time off.

Why? Because thinking days are writing days: even when I don’t yet see the scenes in my mind, I know things are cooking up in there (I can literally feel it. Like water starting to boil. Yes, that would be a mix of three teaspoons of a headache and 500 ml of excitement).

I’ll have plenty of time to edit and read during the upcoming four weeks, and I’ll take full advantage of it: to finish polishing my completed manuscript, read as much as possible, and most importantly, RELAX.
