truepennyBear explains post-novel ennui. Which is totally where I'm at right now. The back-to-back page proofs have kicked my ass, and I do not have enough brain right now to power a wind-up sloth.
And, yes, I'm bored.
The thing about writing is, you get used to being self-entertaining. Your brain gives you toys. And the problem with post-novel ennui is that you need the toys more than ever, and the toy box is empty. There's no there there, to quote Gertrude Stein. So you reach, and get nothing. Reach, and get nothing. Tell yourself to quit it and just relax already. Five minutes later--reach, and get nothing.
Yes. Scattershot and bored.
Be glad you don't have to live with me.
