Rest Relaxation Work and Writing

The first part of this post was written at school. I finished all my duties: room cleaned, marks entered, boxes packed and ready for transport. I am being moved to a new school. Last-minute administrative duties are done. With this bit of free time, I thought why not work on the writing side of my life.

I know the world thinks that teachers get this super awesome summer off, and we do, however, let me say It. Is. Earned. By the end of the school year, we are all so pooped on every level. Our patience is at its end. Our bodies are physically tired. Our brains lack focus and freshness. The time off is necessary. Teaching as much as I love it takes its toll. Ask any educator. Summer is a necessity to recharge for the fall. With that in mind, I take the summer holidays very seriously. This year I am traveling with David’s wife, my sister, while he works on his part of Wolfe’s Blood. Relaxing in the sun, swimming in the sea, and catching up with family is the perfect remedy for a long school year.

By the time I return, I hope to be super rested because it will be go-time with the last installment of the Shepherd and Wolfe Mystery series and the final edits on my independent book (title pending).

So, here’s to a future that is exactly what I imagined. And here’s to fantastic and well-received books.

As always thank you for reading, lovelies.

P.S. I will still be posting while I’m enjoying summertime.
