Something in the water

24th September, 2008

I really don't know what it is.

But I have felt really out of sorts for the last few days/weeks.

I think it might be the come down from the book launch/release/signings.  They don't warn you about the bit after your book comes out.

The mundane weeks after the excited nights before.

You see before there was so much to hope for - and now I see that writing the book was one thing.  Getting it published was another.  And I am pleased. I am. But I have simply moved forward one step in the snakes and ladders game and the top seems a whole long way off from here.

And look at all those nasty snakes.

So, I shall sit on this stoop a little longer and pep talk myself - and then I shall get up and at 'em - or whatever it is that motivational speakers tell me I should do.

Because sitting with your head in your hands never helped anyone much.  Although it is kind of cosy down here.
