A Break from the Book

So I’ve written the first draft of my novel and spend my time editing it; I’m a little over half way through this rough edit. I’m really excited to finish. However, my mind continues to trick me into thinking I’m further along and I have to remind myself there is still a lot to do, changing the excitement to anxiety.

Regardless, I realize my life can’t just be about writing and editing so I took the day off and spent it with my family. It was a wonderful day where I saw this:

I didn’t get to see this beautiful tiger in the wild but a zoo is the next best thing. Plus, there’s no chance of being eaten by the wildlife we’re viewing.

The downtime was great but now I need to get back to work.

What are the best breaks from work?

Thanks for reading my blog!
