Someone recently asked me, "Now that your book is in the hands of your editor, what are you doing with your time off?" After I stopped laughing, and apologized for laughing, I tried to understand the concept of time off?

I don't read when I'm writing, so I do stick my head in a few novels. The wonderful thing about books is that they don't spoil. Books have a wonderful shelf life.

A few of my friends get long awaited for letters, and the others, apologies. When a book has a hold on me, I don't do much else but ponder and write. I try to keep up with Goodreads and Facebook but my posts are unimaginative and droll. I want to tell my readers about what I'm writing, but that falls under spoiler alert!

Recently I conversed with a reader via FB messages while I monitored my sump pump. I lead such an exciting life!

I have a chore list that needs attending to and then there is taxes...

So what do I do in my time off? I think about writing the next book.
