Book Hangover
Hi,
So the edits of Bk 2 in the 'Winds of Fire' series are over and I'm breathing. Breathing. Breathing.
But something's missing. I can feel it in my veins. In my blood. A call that something doesn't quite feel right.
It's called a book hangover. I've been living with these characters and I've been immersed in the lives of these fictitious people for so long now - 10 years - that I feel empty without them. The story is over - in this book, that is. The next one waiting to be dealt its fate.
In the meantime I'm not sure how to go on. I mean I have a real life... oh yes! A very busy one too with 2 kids, a loving husband and a puppy Shih Tzu. But there's another side of me... the writer in me that's at peace. And also at unease now.
I guess this will take some time to get over. Perhaps I should read another work of fiction, or begin writing another blog post that's due next week... or....
What do you think I should do? How do I get over my own book hangover?
