Step Away From the Book!

I finished reading and editing the first three chapters of my book and sent them off to an agent on Sunday morning. Now it's taking all the strength I can muster to keep myself from jumping back in and continuing to read and edit the rest of my chapters.

I just finished two thorough read-throughs and edits. Combing through the book one more time right now will make me crazy. I've decided that I need to take a break and read for a while -- maybe a week -- then come back to my book with a fresh perspective.

What I really, really want to do is work on one of the other four or five books that I have in various states of progress, but I've vowed to stay away from them until I feel really, REALLY done with my first book.

I've been thinking about all of my other projects, trying to decide where to take each of them next. It's hard to abstain. But, my brain needs a little hiatus, then I can come back re-energized.
