Don't feel bad, Suzanna. I couldn't get hardly any writing done in December. And January looks like it will not be much better. I am so burnt out and exhausted.
I'd love to learn about your process for the fantasy rewrite.
It's okay to rest. The world's idea of how we have to "maintain productivity" tries to turn us into machines, and we are not. We are not.
My creative writing professor said once, "You cannot create if the well is empty." Regardless of your chosen discipline (I find it true in art as much as I do with writing), it stands that the work you produce when you try to shoehorn it isn't ever as good as the stuff that comes out when the inspiration is flowing.

Let yourself rest!
Seconding the fantasy rewrite. Am deep in edits myself so am always curious about how others are going about it.
