shutdown 1 March 2010
Well, I wasn’t expecting it (and I am usually good at listening to the internals) but I shut down last night in classic mode. It was a big day out – writing, then the football match though Villa failed to win the Carling Cup at Wembley (I thought we played well, though, and looking back I enjoyed the match more than I thought at the time – nerves for the team, really wanting the win, etc can be a lot to get past) at the end of a week of massively concentrated writing work. I took to the bed at 9.30 and slept through in something of a coma till 8.30 this morning. Clearly the mind and body decided I needed utter conking out. I have just delivered the first half of the book and will have given in the rest by Thursday morning so the work continues. Trouble is, I feel awful…bit like the shut down has been a warning shot across the McLynn bows.
I need a holiday! In the meantime there is caffeine…
