Easing Into Burnout

Once again, I am not doing NaNo this year. I don’t even have a particular project to feed with the NaNo energy. I don’t like it.

But I’m burned out.

After an intense five weeks of rehearsals and performances of an incredibly intense show, and finishing a novel draft that has consumed my life for the last several months, I’m allowed a little burnout.

That doesn’t mean I have to like it.

At this point, the only thing that can really be said for my writing process and the frustration of having to go back and type out the whole manuscript before I can really call the raft done, is that it gives me the chance to ease into the burnout phase. I don’t go straight from full creative/productive mode to nothing; I have at least a couple weeks to still be productive.

Maybe by the end of it, I’ll even have a new project ready to start! (I know better than that, but I can hope.)
