I've taken a few days off from the day job to just take a break and relax for a bit. It has been a hectic few weeks. It has been very busy at the day job (yes, friends. Don't let anyone kid you - writing does not necessarily pay the bills.) Then there is the writing. I had to complete the second round of text and map edits for the new edition of Hiking Alabama (which is due out April 2022) and at the same time, run through the second and final round of edits before the galley proofs arrive for the book Space Oddities: Forgotten Stories of Mankind's Exploration of Space. And there are constant articles I have to write for various online sites.
Don't get me wrong. I love it. But sometimes you need a break and that's what I've been up to. Trouble is, within a few days of saying that, I get the itch. In fact, as I take a couple days off from that day job to do absolutely nothing, three new book ideas popped into my head and all thought of relaxing have been put on the back burner as I sit here and begin writing the proposals.
As I was writing the proposals, I got the bug to do a little audio and video production again so now I am working on the book trailer and an interview for the Space Oddities book.
I guess I should face the fact that letting my imagination run wild on the printed page IS my relaxation. So, I'm back from my little vacation and at it again. Much more to come.
