Shut up, brain.

Last night I finished writing the last chapter of my WordPress book (huzzah! confetti!) and went promptly to bed, being rather worn out.

Not ten minutes later, my brain coughed up a scene and a plot complication for the mystery novel I put on the back burner several months ago.

Dear voices in my head,

I appreciate your enthusiasm, and I most heartily sympathize with your desire to get back to producing fiction as quickly as possible. However, allow me to remind you that we have just written a rather lengthy nonfiction tome, and will be dealing with revision requests for some weeks to come. If you could please knock it off for a week or so to allow us a little rest, that’d be great.

Even a day or two would be most welcome.

Sincerely,
Mgmt.

I mean, come ON.

I didn’t get to sleep until 4 a.m.
