I'm obsessing over the first twenty pages of my new book. Though, I realize on an intellectual level that by obsessing I am slowing down the process of actually finishing this book, I also plan on signing up for an SCBWI Summer Conference (in August), and in order to get my manuscript into the critique pool, I want it ready, and in tip-top shape before the registration, which is in mid-April. And, since I'll be on Spring Break, and preparing for Spring Break, etc. for the first two weeks of April, I had better get my twenty pages ready now.
Hence, my obsession.
I've been over these first twenty pages for hours today. Though, I believe I will have to stop for a day or two in order to clear my head. I also would like to write the next scene, but can't today because I've managed to fry my brain with too much thinking. It's a sad but true fact of my brain. I can only hyper-focus for a few hours before I burn out.
Maybe I just need more caffeine...
