Not Writing is Weird

I spent 14 months writing, revising, and editing my last book, researching as I went along.

What am I doing now?

Nothing.

Well, not nothing, but no writing. No revising. No editing.

I'm researching.

It's weird to finally be free of a daily word count, but I love it. I'm knee-deep in the history of an era I know virtually nothing about, and I plan to just go deeper.

Seriously, what's better than the life of a writer?

So tell me, where are you this New Year's Day? Researching, drafting, writing, revising?

Regardless of where you are, good luck in 2012!
