And the other side of the coin - butt out of chair
This week I finished Season 1 of Heaven. It wasn’t a monumental achievement - only a 28,800 word work. What is that? Novella? But the relief I felt when I was done was amazing. I feel mentally done. I have other projects, of course, but when I am done with a big project I feel the need to take a slight break. The brain no longer wants to think about writing.
And sometimes that’s OK. Sometimes you need a break.
Just be sure not to make it too long.
About the Author: I am a writer and podcast producer, writing for magazines and RPGs. I am a wanna-be fiction writer with several short fiction, comic scripts, and one novel sale. Playing For Keeps will be out August, '08.

Congratulations Mur!
I look forward to feeling the same way when I finally finish my monster writing project…

Wow, congrats! I’ve just started writing a new story/novel and I’m still very excited about it. But I’m sure I will get to that point where I just want it finished.

Congratulations, Mur! I’ve really enjoyed Heaven, but you’re due for a well-deserved break. I’m still looking forward to Season 2…
