God, I'm stupid.

I decided to take a week off from writing to work on cleaning my apartment. Because I'm getting annoyed by the mess, and because Grandmommie's been bitching about it. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

But now, suddenly, I'm getting depressed. Which shouldn't be a surprise -- I need to write, I need to be creating

Break it up in chunks. Tell yourself, "I'm gonna clean X and when X is clean, I'll reward myself by writing a scene." When the scene is done, go on to cleaning Y.

You deserve to have a healthy space to write in just as much as you deserve to be writing.

I will agree with cavalaxis .. it's really the best of both worlds. Cleaning can be overwhelming.

By the way, cavalaxis .. cool icon.

Thanks!

That is, unfortunately, the problem; I get overwhelmed, and depressed, and wish I was writing ...

I do much better with finite tasks, than infinite. (On the bright side, I did manage to clean the shower. But only because it really needed it.)
