Take a Break

This entry is part 12 of 13 in the series How to Write a Novel

Time Away from a Novel Can Give you Perspective

One of the most important things I do to improve my novel is to take a break sometimes. That’s what I’m doing this weekend. I’m attending a quilting workshop and playing with color instead of with words. Our teacher for the weekend is Mary Lou Weideman. Go and look at her quilts!

It’s only a one day break, though. Not too long of a break!f I’ll be back on Monday!

You have permission to take a break, too.
