I’m tired.
You’d think, with a 4.5 week vacation, I’d be anything but tired.
Well, the first week, or so, I was in school setting up my new classroom.
The following two weeks, I managed to avoid going into school, even though I wanted to pop in on several occasion to just check things were okay!
So, instead, I started my edit, with gusto!
And in 2 weeks, I had completed the main restructuring and tweaking of my book.
That was a long time looking at a screen though.
My eyes suffered, my head suffered, and even my poor screen suffered. It has developed a flicker, rather like a nervous twitch, that starts up after a few hours of me using it.
And the mental exhaustion has kicked in.
I’ve sent the MS to a few readers, three known, trusted readers, and two who are writers I have met via a FaceBook group I am an active member of.
So for the next few days, I shall be operating on auto-pilot. Actually, it might be a good time for Hubby Dearest to rise from the Hurt Foot Brigade, and co-pilot for a while, so I can rest up a bit, while he deals with the kids demands!
(Who am I kidding? Firstly, I am too much of a control freak to totally let go. He’s there. He does plenty. It’s just not how I want things done, so I do them again, anyway! And secondly, even if I did, I’d end up implementing more changes to the MS as suggested by the readers, because I CAN’T SWITCH off!!!)
