Home again

I'm back from my desperately needed vacation. My goals were to relax, read & write a little.

I read a book that somehow had been on my shelf for nearly a year. I relaxed which had an unexpected result - I've long felt the building where I work is not the healthiest place. After being away for 12 days, having had one headache (weather related) and no real issues, I was back for less than 2 hours before my head was pounding and my allergies had kicked in hard. (Hard enough to set off the vertigo/dizziness.) I must take a look at what I can do to counter them.

I did do some writing. I spent time in the garden at the B&B and at The Sleepless Goat - very different atmospheres but both allowed me to get words down. I also came to some realizations about my main character. Now to keep the momentum and get more words down.

Trying something different

In an effort to reconnect with my WIP, I'm taking a break from my novels' world. Just for a time. No notes. No research. No deliberately thinking about plot, etc. Will it work? Time will tell.

Between now & then, there's an old piece that has been asking for attention - a different genre and something I've been thinking of expanding for some time. I have a new notebook, a list of existing characters & the beginnings of a list of research I'll need to do. Looking forward to my vacation & having time to write whenever I want.
