On Momentum

Took a break for all of December, after working for several months on Time’s Architects. Now it’s January and I’m supposed to have been working on short stories. Long story short, it’s been hard for me to keep at it. Laziness and procrastination are my excuses. Even after such a short break. So instead of writing 10k words, I’m settling for 2,500, and next month’s writing has been extended to two months’ worth (15k -> 5k and 10k), and April’s writing has been delayed til May. Sigh.

I plan on slowly ramping up over the next few months, so I can get back to writing more per month. I don’t currently have a novel in mind, but I’m sure I can think of something. Maybe I could do a second draft of either of my existing novels. As long as I’m writing, it’s ok. I hate that it’s been so hard getting my groove back. Maybe I shouldn’t take breaks. I don’t like that idea, but maybe continuing to write is what I should do, I dunno.
