- Start a new project
- Read a great book (such as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Haunting of Freddy, and The Supernaturalist, by JK Rowling, Dietlof Reiche, and Eion Colfer, respectively)
- Corral guinea pigs while they munch on the lawn
- Get busy with other work (for me that means editing some proposals for a biotech company)
- Take a hike (hey, I live in Colorado--what can I say?)
- Smell all the essential oils at our local natural foods store (current favorites--tangerine and pine needle)
Sometimes life keeps me too busy to write. Sometimes life is the source of what I write. Sometimes life helps me survive the fact that I write! As Jane Yolen says, sometimes it's time to stop and kiss the grandbabies. I don't have any grandbabies yet--guess I'll have to grab those guinea pigs....
