I've been dealing with the self-doubt gremlin for a few weeks now. It nearly derailed the mini workshop I was putting together for the writers' club meeting (last night), but I got through it and the
Weeks of disturbed sleep haven't helped; caused by strange disjointed dreams that had no clear meaning or any sense. I assume my brain was deleting unwanted junk in the memory...
Amazing how beneficial eight hours' undisturbed slumber can be.
There's still lots to catch up on, besides getting back to the novel rewrite; I need to make notes on new scenes before I forget why they're needed and get on with finishing the book I'm reading for research.

The post-Christmas slump can be a tricky time. The media are full of new diets, fitness trends and 'time for a new you' features, but in reality all that has changed is that another 24 hours has passed and pretty much every is as it was the night before. We must console ourselves with the thought that the nights are drawing out - and keep on fighting those gremlines. Onwards!
You're so right Julia. I realised the other day that it was only getting dark at a time when previously it would have been dark already. Reminded me the light will last longer and spring will soon arrive. :-)
I'm sure you'll be back to being productive soon, Carol. I found last week difficult after the festive holidays, especially having to get up earlier again for my granddaughter three mornings! Getting back into a better routine now. Be kind to yourself and the gremlins will scarper.
Rosemary- thank you. It's easy to forget we need to me time too and some leeway is important.x
