The Lazy Day (300 Writing Prompts, #1)

Hi blog-followers!

I’m starting something new.

Rather than endless promo for my books and other people’s books, you’re going to get to know a little bit more about me as a person.

For Christmas, my sister got me a book called “300 Writing Prompts”, which I feel is perfect for getting back into blogging with some regularity. I’ll categorize all of these posts as “300 Writing Prompts” so they’re easy to find if you find you like them.

On with post #1!

What is your favourite way to spend a lazy day?

This might be the workaholic in me, but if I have the day to myself and I have no pressing matters, I inevitably end up working on propping up or fleshing out either my writing platform or my publishing company’s online presence.

Sometimes this includes writing books… though at this point with 100-ish publications under various pen names, I’ve come to view the act of writing as being more along the lines of work and I tend to not do it on a lazy day.

So, yeah, I might do some long-neglected website updates, some social media posts to get things active again, and perhaps follow-up on some fleeting ideas I had weeks ago and filed away for a rainy day. To me, this is relaxing and perfect for a lazy day.

I wonder if it’s because it gives me a sense of accomplishment for the day. It makes me feel that I haven’t wasted my day. It’s hard for me to just relax and do nothing — I mean, I can, but by the end of the day, I feel like all the time has gone past and I’ve done nothing. I seem to lack the deep understanding of what it means to have a lazy day.

One day I’ll be able to relax, but today is not that day.
