I sometimes have difficulty starting a new project after finishing one, too, but I usually have several projects going at once. I take a few days off after finishing one. I hear you about resisting the notion to work that hard again. ;)Elizabeth Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322056244180901707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396437919069310850.post-80072356184348759582014-06-01T23:43:07.173-04:002014-06-01T23:43:07.173-04:00I don't feel depressed.

But I...I don't feel depressed. I feel elated. <br /><br />But I do have trouble starting a new project immediately after finishing the last. I think it's laziness.

What to do with my time? My energy? Suddenly I wasn't at the heart of a project which had nourished me.<br /><br />I think for me it just takes time. I have to bring myself back; find a way to be excited about the next thing. Fortunately there always is a next thing, even if it takes a while to appear. Oh, and yes, baking really does help.Harper Eliothttp://harpereliot.comnoreply@blogger.com
