I'm not feeling a great sense of accomplishment for finishing my first draft. That's the opposite of how I felt when I finished Smooth Running's first draft. Then I was elated. I don't know if it's because I know how many rewrite drafts I'm going to have to do. I just don't feel 'done'. Writers are crazy, maybe this doesn't have to make sense.
I didn't write last night and I felt empty. Luckily a two hour bike ride gave me enough fatigue toxins to distract me but I'm thinking I have to write something every day. I feel the same way when I'm exercising. If I miss a day there, I feel it inside too. Curious. I have some not-for-publication stuff I could fiddle around with. Maybe I'll do that. Or maybe I'll start editing Angel Odyssey early. I know I'm supposed to let it settle and get some perspective on it, but I'm feeling idle and adrift. Exercise can only fill so much of that.
