It was not a terribly productive weekend in regard to writing, and I try to remind myself that it’s fine when that happens. Even when it’s a long weekend. I get overly focused on making progress with a book, so much so that I lose sight of other things I want to do. Like putting out Halloween decorations.
I was getting to the point where I figured it wouldn’t happen this year because all I wanted to do was move forward on this next book. But yesterday afternoon our youngest, my husband, and I hauled a bunch of stuff down from above the garage and got a scene set up. And I’m pretty happy with it. We also got about two and a half cords of wood stacked in the basement, bought paint for the front door, and made freaking awesome pork schnitzel.
When writing, it’s important to still do other things. If you don’t, what on earth would you write about?
