BUT, withdrawal from characters you've been living and breathing for months on end is proving harder that I thought. I tried delving into another story but so far, no dice. Giselle and Seb have got their own journey with a lot of angst brewing (I'm sure), but so far they're giving me nothing...NOTHING! Well, ok...a measly half page.
So it got me thinking. Maybe I just need a little more "downtime" or "mourning time" to get over Bastien and Ana before I commit to Giselle and Seb. But even knowing this, I'm beginning to panic a little because what if G&S go into a sulk and won't talk to me when I finally get my act together? How much mourning period is enough? And how do I get over it?
PS - resorting to chocolate is no longer an option. Yes, it's January and the diet is back on, unfortunately *sigh*

Give it a week, Maya then try again. I'm finding it very difficult to refind my mojo after Christmas, esp writing a new story. Hope the ed hurries up and reads Bastien and Ana!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sally. Hope the ed hears you :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a speedy reply from the editor. With very good news of course. :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the other, if you come up with answers, I'd love to hear them!
Hi - I've popped over from Donna Alward's blog. Good luck with coaxing a story from G&S. Plunging into watching films in my time period or genre usually works for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sutton :) The only answer I have right now is to procrastina...er, ruminate some more, hehe...
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, great of you to stop by. Downton Abbey certainly helped take my mind off things, but I think I need a different sort of film to get the juices going. Rom coms usually do it for me...hmmm maybe it's time to dig out some oldies :)
ReplyDeleteDarn I was going to suggest chocolate. The evil diet fairies have taken it away. What about wine? ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, wine *could* work, but then it'll let me crave the chocolate, darn it!
ReplyDeleteHehe, those editors were definitely listening to you, Maya! The romance Gods are shining down on you :-)
