It could also be that maybe so much is going on around you. Sometimes we all need to just set back close your eyes and take a breather or take the day off. Some Chamomile tea, with Lavender aromatherapy and a nice relaxing bath almost always seems to be the trick with me.

Kids seem to do their own thing - so easily ... but always need Mum and Dad ... <br /><br />Wonderful about your mother - isn't that just lovely to have that beautiful endorsement .. I hope her sleep recovers soon ... <br /><br />All will return to normality anon .. all the best - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669601964389987165.post-59812464289969250282014-08-03T09:17:37.133+01:002014-08-03T09:17:37.133+01:00Great feedback from you mom... :) Confusion is a b...Great feedback from you mom... :) Confusion is a bit scary... hope it's just a side effect from you other meds.T.F.

I ...I've been feeling very confused lately too. I resigned my teaching position because I could not function in the new testing/data-crazed climate of the classroom. But now I'm going to be writing full time, and I don't have anything to work on after the final contracted book in my series. I want to have a project I'm excited about on the horizon, because that's what makes me happy. But I'm flailing. I'm afraid I will finish the revisions for this last contracted book ... and it'll be the last book I ever write. Everything I've tried to start falls flat on its face. <br /><br />It could be I'm just burned out from the series and I need to take a break. But when school starts in the fall and I don't go back with all my former colleages -- I'll go nuts if I don't have something to write.Dianne K.
