Monday-Monday Putting my brain on idle

Monday-Monday

Putting my brain on idle.

Last week on this blog, I bared my soul and shared my desperation. When I finish a work in progress, I spending some time wondering if I’ll ever have another original idea. Many very nice people shared their experience.

Our consensus? Take a day or two and put my brain in idle. Luckily, Thanksgiving kept me happily entertained for a few days.

Trouble is, if my brain isn’t engaged in my work, I get bored easily. Since this is just between friends, I’ll share with you some of the other ‘stuff’ I get into during my in between books.

I paint. Flowers. Why? Because that’s all I know how to paint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I cook. I especially love teaching my granddaughter to bake.

Speaking of this awesome kid, I love to terrorize her mother with photo-shopped pictures like these.

I’ve been known to lose my mind and get in the water with sharks and string rays. Okay, they were nurse sharks but none the less scary.

A reviewer said she hoped Ash Hunter, a secondary character in The Green-Eyed Doll, got his own story. She was right! After all, he almost stole the lead from Matt Ballard. So an idea formed and today I’m back with my characters. Working on their descriptions, baggage, and conflicts.

How about you? Do you put your brain in idle and take a break from work? And how do you get your mind back in the work zone?
