I'm deep into edits.
But I can't read other books right now.
Is that normal?
I literally have about 5 started books stacked up. And I can't get into any of them. It's not like they're bad. I like them. But I can't...my mind won't...it's strange. I get like this during edits. I don't like it. I don't think it's healthy. I wish I could mult-task. And pull myself away from the edits. Not to mention I need to do some critiquing which I want to give my full attention to!
Dear Brain - You can do better than this!
At the same time -- I'm afraid to lose my momentum.
I have a vacation coming up at the end of August. I plan to be done with edits by then and just READ. I love reading other people's stuff! It's so much better than mine! But right now, I can't seem to focus on anything but Mel's story.
I hate that. But I can't help it!
Any advice?
HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
Oh, I wish I could help, but I always have similar problems. I have to read in spells, you know, a month where I read very little, a month where I do nothing but... it's crazy. But probably the best thing to do is to give the story what it needs. Reading can wait, if it must. :)
