Taking a Break

Reading novels is fun. Reading my own is still fun although my internal editor stays on full alert the entire time.
Capri Capers needed lots of rewriting. When I wrote the first draft, each chapter ended with a cliff hanger. The next chapter began with an enhanced look at the cliffhanger.
Writing this way was fun but reading it did not work. So the end and beginning of each chapter was merged.
Then I pulled the novel apart and put it back together again.
Now I find I am seeing what I think is there, not what is there.
It is time to set the novel aside for a time. Then I can look at it and see what is really there. Maybe. I hope.
So, what shall I do over this break? Work on the Pumpkin Project, my garden and learn about road rallies.
Boredom is banished.
