I can quite see you wanting to get on with new projects ... and more writing ... but as Damyanti says writing can come via reflection, getting away and doing something new ... I always want what I'm doing completed and away, so I can move on ... doesn't happen though!!

That AHA! moment of figuring out a plot twist or thinking of a new little "something" to add gives me an emotional rush. As you say, once the project is finished, reality sets in and the nuts-and-bolts necessities of publishing and marketing horn into the good feelings.
