It is really hard, though. The best advice is to always be working on something new to distract yourself, but it's not like I always take that advice myself, so take that with a grain of salt.

Would somebody please do a beta-read on the crime story I've just rewritten?

Ok, that'd be good. I'll send it Monday or Tuesday, then.(I am trying to send it out, but it's not time-sensitive or anything.)
