drained

i haven't posted in a while because there has been nothing interesting to say. i'm drained. i went from having my head racing around my book world at a dangerous pace to being utterly drained of energy and barely thinking about The Book and the characters. ugh. double ugh. as i posted previously, i needed to pull back a bit or i wouldn't have been able to function in my non-writing life (which is, um, pretty much my whole life right now). but this is a little too far. work has been hell and i've been sick. hopefully i will recover some of my energy this week and get back into things.

i have been reading a good writing book, though. the writer's idea book by jack heffron. i definitely recommend it. it's filled with writing prompts that are supposed to give you jumping off points for new story/scene/character ideas. once i'm finished with it, i'll provide a more comprehensive review here. next up: plotting!
