Okay so I am just procrastinating here, starting this thread. I have a novel to edit. An edited novel due in less than two weeks to my publisher (and agent), and I just don't wanna.
When I was in university I felt the same way about essays. And then I took a playwrighting class. All I wanted to do was work on that, write it, edit it, anything so long as I wasn't writing some thesis. I want to get that feeling back. I hate that editing this book feels like so much work. I guess also because it is so long that it seems like it will be forever until I finish it. And I have some huge edits coming up (right now it's just little things line by line). I want it to be fun again!!
Sigh.
Anyway, just a little rant. I REALLY have to get to work. To just do it. And I will. Just right this second, man I so don't want to.
Thanks for listening.
