Yeah - I think that is a common thing. My anxiety seems to get subsumed into "okay back to bed" very rapidly with me, which is annoying.

My plate is very full! It's nice to be full of ideas, but I do wish my new characters would be quiet for a bit and let me get back to the novel.

Wow, your plate sounds pretty full too! I find worldbuilding quite difficult - I am very worried that my novel universe is a mess. But still, that is something I can fix in a second draft, I feel like I should really concentrate on getting a first draft, first.
