 After editing my manuscript for a couple hours, I decided that I needed to get out of the house and have some fun. Too much time at the computer is a detriment. I have to work while I'm feeling the flow of the writing or, at least, still being productive. After a certain point, I hit saturation and it's time to recharge.
For me, and while the weather is still half-decent, that's a long quad ride. I jumped on, what I lovingly refer to as the Blue Beast, and took off for a two-hour ride. All the crops are off the fields now and it's a fun ride down to the river. What made the whole experience even better was that my man came home early from work and joined me on my ride.
I came back home, made supper for everyone and once the dishes were done, I edited for another hour. In the end, the distraction paid off. The last hour of edits I did were much better than they would have been had I just sat at my computer past my expiry time.
