Is accomplished related to exhausted?

I (mostly) finished two really huge projects today that I had on the back-burner for a little too long, so I am feeling very accomplished at the moment but I also have that foggy feeling behind my eyes like I'm teetering on the edge of burn out. I suppose that happens when you devote seventeen or so hours a day, several days in a row, to the same task. It is nice to feel like I really got something done though...I'd been going through a bit of a monotonous dry spell for a couple days.

Now to get on with the other things that need to be done. *glances at the list* Or maybe later...

The good news is it's Friday, so I don't have to feel guilty about not being productive over the weekend. Plus, my chapter meeting is this weekend, so I'm really looking forward to that. (And I should be getting my pro pin this weekend--very exciting.)

Well, now I think I'm going to indulge in some completely useless activity...like playing the new pokemon (Yes, I know I'm a dork) or tackle something on my TBR pile.

Accomplished and exhausted truly go hand in hand. The good part about it is that even though you are exhausted, you will probably still feel good about yourself.

What's Next?

A lot of people are writing to ask if Grave Destiny is the final book in the series. I'm very happy to report that no, this is not the end! Ace has contracted one final Alex Craft novel so that I can finish up the story. I'm currently writing the first draft, and while it has a tentative title, I'm not free to share it quite yet. I'll be turning in the 7th Alex Craft novel this September, so I anticipate it will be released late 2020 or early 2021 but will update you when I have more information. So, for those of you worried that this might be the end, worry not. There is more. I hope you are enjoying Grave Destiny!
