What do you do when you need a break?
What happens when you are writing and you need a break? Do you take the dogs for a walk or walk to your kitchen for a hot cup of coffee or tea?
If it is sunny out, I find myself taking my coffee or tea out onto the back deck where I can absorb some natural vitamin D. It refreshes and clears my mind so I can get back to writing. If it’s rainy, I still go for the coffee or tea and play a few games of solitaire on the computer.
So tell me, what do you do when you need a break from your writing?

Bake. I do this especially if I’m stuck in a plot. Creating in the kitchen frees my mind to work out the issue
Or sometimes hubby will take me out to dinner or to play mini golf. Having to focus on something else for a short time makes a big difference too

What fun! If I am taking a break from a story, I will start another one. That is the funnest part — making up new charactrers. If I am taking a dead stop break from writing, I’ll do art work. I have a new blank canvas staring at me right now that’s begging me.

Liena, you always have such ‘refreshing’ blogs. Me, I’m a Pogo.com girl. I can go into those game rooms and get lost! But I always come out ready to get back to work. LOL

The thing I like most to do when I get a break is to curl up with a good book and a cup of tea, hot chocolate, or coffee.
This rarely happens any more, so I really cherish when I can do it.

I second Sandy – A good book and a cup of warm coffee, which, like you Liena, I’ll take to my sun-filled front room and just curl up on the couch. The sun’s a wonderful regenerator!

What are these things you call a ‘break’? This concept is foreign to me but sounds alluring.
