Away from desk

I've often wondered how other authors get back in a project they've been away from? I'm in that situation right now and trying to figure my way around as I jump back in a manuscript from 2009.

At first I dilly-dallied for a while... unsure whether I could get back in. That means I was on FB and Twitter and whatnot for a while - procrastinating.

Then, I took the plunge and dived - head-first. I started rereading what I had done... revising and editing... and trying to build the mental picture in my head.

Chapter 1 was torture... now I'm on Chapter 4 and plugging my way through. The last leg of research remains and I wonder when I'll relive the joy of pounding out the original manuscript?

What do you think?
