It’s so important, isn’t it? The more I write, the more I realize I need down time too.

As I read, I kept murmuring “yes”, “uh-huh” “I remember that” “she’s exactly right” – you added a lot to the discussions on the retreat and it was a pleasure to get to know you.

Writer with polish, but also being realistic about the need to find a work/life balance. There’s value in doing something different, especially for a longterm author. I go to belly dancing 101 and have for 13 years.
