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.
