I hope everyone is enjoying the fleeting quiet before the mad rush of the holiday. Enjoying those spare moments before you have to start cooking that massive turkey and the countless side dishes. Not that I'm complaining. I always have fun when cooking with my family. Except that last year, the onions finally decided to attack and I can't chop them without tears blinding me.
Sadly, cooking does take away time from writing. I attempted one year to bring the laptop into the kitchen with me. It did not end well. The holiday break is coming as I try to finish up editing a rather difficult scene. Perhaps two days of no writing will be good. Then I can return and vanquish this block.
Part of the issue, is that I'm distracted by planning for the future. I have a detailed writing schedule already set up for 2016. As ever, it's flexible to change. I really want to get Our Fathers and Resurrected Thief out there, and then focus on my other new projects. I keep thinking about ideas for a serialized novel, plus about four unrelated fantasy epics. Then of course come all the sequels. I have a sneaking feeling that 2016 might be busier than 2015.
But I'm thankful for my writing. I'm happiest when I'm writing. I'm inspired by the ever growing mountain of new ideas. Once this turkey is out of the way, the Muse and I must get back to climbing!
