Writing Vacation

You know you are a struggling writer when you look forward to vacation because you know you'll finally have time to actually write.

 The trappings of everyday life usually suck all of the motivation and creativity right out of me. But vacations, specifically beach vacations, are a really revitalizing time.

They are usually so low-key and relaxing - no agendas or schedules to adhere to - so I can just read, write, and relax to my heart's content.

 I'm planning to write some new chapters, revise some old ones, and do a massive overhaul on a major character while I'm enjoying the sun, sand, and surf.

Of course, I'll be reading as well. I always feel like vacation time is catching up on my reading time and I love going to the bookstore that first day and browsing the shelves for the perfect beach reads.

I may have been a bit ambitious with my stack of books this year, but I know I'll get to them eventually.I'm starting with Shadow of Night and Life After Life.

Do you write more or less when you are on vacation?
