I think I've realized that I'm in a rut because I'm forcing myself to write quickly in an attempt to satisfy those who are asking for a second book. The first book poured out of me in about 7 weeks and I've been forcing the follow up. It's only been about 6 weeks since I started writing and I'm doing a lot of the editing at the time of writing. So I'm ahead of the game. By a long shot. So I'm going to take a break. I'm also thinking about breaking the book up into short story chapters rather than following the time line. Getting everything in line for the timeline is proving to be cumbersome and tedious. I could answer the same questions and not follow the time line. (a la David Sedaris). Either way. I'm putting the brakes on this project for a couple days.. Weeks. Until I'm moved to move. If that makes sense.
