taking a break
Now, first, I realize that it’s never a good time to take a break when writing. However, right now:
- I’m slowly falling ill with absolutely no idea what’s wrong with me. My body&mind fail me in small ways but nothing so big that I can say that I’m really sick.
- I’m reading Hyperion by Dan Simmons and it’s so close to “the novel I really really want to write” that I suspect my writing nerve is really engaged in reading, digesting and learning. It’s not a good excuse but then again I know that when I read something engaging I inadvertently start writing in that style.
- Also, I’m stuck
So yeah. I’m taking a break to figure things out, do some much-needed planning instead of writing, and generally bring things to balance again.

Have a good break and recharge the batteries, and hope you feel all revved up again
Thanks! I will be fine. Also, Hyperion is awesome.
