R and R

 To my amazement I know which day of the week it is

today!  Lately I've been so swamped I remember what

day of the week it is when the day is almost over...

An important thing to remember during all the chaos

that goes with writing/editing/promoting and the long

list of all the other stuff is stop from time to time and

Regroup and Rest.  Burn out isn't hard to accomplish

and then you'll be sitting there looking around trying to

find your muse that is off somewhere taking a nap because

the creative juices are temporarily dried up.

R and R for me is Read and Rest (what can I say I'm a

book addict as well as a writer).  So for the first time in

sixteen months I am taking more than two days in a row

 off from my work and regenerating.   Day one - I read

three novels and ignored the rest of the planet.  Day two -

(today) I am catching up on all the stuff I didn't have the

energy to care about in the past few months.  The next

four days will be all about proofing, plotting and

writing.

Just remember to stop and catch your breath from time to

time.

I'll see you next week!
