Frustration
I'm incredibly frustrated at my lack of writing energy lately. I know it's largely because of school--apparently writing takes up the same parts of my brain as school does. I half-wonder if I'd be having this same problem if I were majoring in something other than literature. Part of the problem is also this incredible sense of malaise and lethargy that's been hanging over me for the past couple weeks. It's not so much depression as it is a constant desire to hibernate. That, I hope, should pass as I get used to the sudden shift to cool weather.
So, yeah. Not writing so much. I still haven't sent out "Computer Dating". Feeling too daunted to work on False Light, tired of revising The Host. Tired of revising pretty much everything. I need a new exciting short story idea to perk me up between here and November. Still looking forward to NaNoWriMo, but starting to wonder how I'm going to pull it off this year. Feh.

I feel your pain, Lisa.
