A Break from Writing

I decided to set aside writing for a little while – to let my current manuscript sit, while other people read it, and to not start on a new project. I have a long list of other things I need to take care of, and this seemed a good time to focus on them.

Except it’s not working. I feel unsettled without writing, by days filled with important tasks completed, but without that quiet time immersed in a story.

I think I’ll have to pull out my notes on the new project, and start to play, at least a little bit every day. Perhaps then I’ll be more effective getting all those other tasks done.
