I know lots of folks who plan wonderful, far-flung vacations to exotic locales. I’ve never been one of those folks. Vacation for me means time to do whatever I want. Which typically includes eating some really good meals (cooking in and going out), extra dog walks, watching a movie or two I’ve been meaning to get around to, reading, and WRITING.
Oh, the luxury of writing without having to squeeze it into the margins. Now that’s my idea of a good vacation.
And this week, as I take my own little summer break, I not only get to write, I get one last chance to edit The Sound of Rain (releasing in November). The galleys arrived on Friday, as if I’d planned it.
And if I need something else writerly to do, there’s the back cover copy of The Sound of Rain to be finalized, and the first draft of a novella to read before submitting. An embarasment of riches, indeed!
I’m almost giddy with the pleasure of an entire week to focus on doing one of my favorite things.
So how about you? What’s your idea of a great way to spend some time off?
So, what does Jim do during your writing vacation?
Mow grass and play his guitar 😉
I just noticed that list on the title page. Books by Sarah Loudin Thomas. Love it… and you of course.
Yeah, couldn’t resist including that. It’s an actual LIST!
