A to Z: "H" is for holiday

I'm on holiday from writing right now and it has been glorious. Some of you will remember that I took a week off mid-project. It did not help. In fact, I felt anxious and stressed the entire time. Last week, I finished the first major draft of "Sisip Learns to Shapeshift" and decided that it was time to take a break. This time, it's been much more relaxing.

I've been able to read, do some research, clean the house, play video games, and hang out with the cats. I've been re-watching a documentary series that I love called Tales From the Green Valley. I made peanut butter balls for the squirrels and woodpeckers.

I plan to get back to writing starting on Monday. I'm feeling ready to get back at it. I'll be working on my editing course material and will be making more headway into the major revision of Tranquility's Grief.

There are plenty of people out there that say "write every day." I say, "occasionally, take  a break."
