Symptoms may include muscle fatigue, pain, tiredness, weakness--

The post-novel ennui is weird, this time out. It's manifesting as physical tiredness rather than can't-brain. So while I know I should be dragging myself out for more exercise, it's just not happening. My calves hurt. How ridiculous is that? As if writing novels were climbing stairs.

Ooof.

But I did write 1000 words on the novella last night. Today, I'd like to write a thousand more, and a thousand pages of the novel. And I have a whole pile of beets to can or pickle... and I might make borscht with some of them. Also, I need to eat a lot of salad.

I know, thrilling, right?

Off to scrub beets!
