Upper limit problem

I read this blogpost the other day about upper limit problems. I think this might be why I haven’t touched my novel since March – I’ve reached the edge of my comfort zone – I’m too close to done. Finishing my novel is more success than I can handle, which suggests my upper limit is pretty damn low.

I decided I’d tell myself I’m really not that close to done, I just want to finish the current revision. Now I want to get back to work on it, but we’re putting new siding on the house. It’s a bit hard to focus with constant pounding on the walls. I may have to try the local coffee shop.
