Brain Buzz

I don't know what it is about anthology meetings. We finish. We stand up. We walk out. We chat. And as soon as I get into my car my brain goes into overload. I remember at least two or three things I meant to say during the meeting as well as another couple that I forgot to write in my notes. I then spend the fifteen minute drive home trying to keep as many of these things in mind as possible. It never occurs to me to just stop and write them down. As soon as I get home I brain dump into a notepad and make a to do list for the next ten minutes. I then spend the next two hours doing everything I shouldn't and nothing that I should. By the time I get around to doing any work it's 11pm and I've not ticked off everything on my list yet. I wonder if this is what people mean when they say you should pace yourself.

The fact that I'm more than happy with my first proper mark has probably contributed a fair bit as well...

Onward! This is a good buzz.
