So, I'm supposed to be writing or editing some fiction now. My twin (Cansas) started a new work the other day and it makes me happy to see her writing again. Still, something is keeping me from writing. It isn't writer's block. I just don't really feel like writing. Obviously, I've decided to write a blog post instead of getting actual writing work done.
I'm finding it funny to see how easy it is to avoid sleep as well as writing. Something about being exhausted and energized at the same time makes it that much easier to procrastinate on things that really need to be done. I've got 2.5 novels and that collection to finish, edit, and rewrite. That's a lot of crap to do even for me.
Anyone else have these sorts of feelings after NaNo or another big binge of writing?
Perhaps its just that I still don't have my own computer up and running again after I accidentally crashed all the computers (other than this ten year old iMac) in the house. Something about writing on someone else's system seems odd to me. I guess we get comfortable with our computers in the same way we do with our rooms and houses and apartments.
On a positive note, I'm loving the New Year already anyway!
Cansas and I went to the fireworks over in downtown Carlisle, PA. Standing there in the street with a handful of revelers in front of Dickinson College's beautiful campus felt good. It amazes me how holidays and other events are just that much greater with the right person. My new-found twin-flame is...well, she's awesome. We have more fun together than I thought was possible for two so different individuals good have. Our personalities are exactly half the same and half different and we were raised in near-opposite environs. Still, we fit as if we really were born and raised together in many ways.
In any event, I'm looking forward to an exciting year of writing, web development, travels, and pranks with her, my friends, and my family.
Cheers to 2014! I hope you all had a great New Year's Eve/Day as well!
Good luck to you in the new and out with the old.
In Earnest,
Adam King
