Good day good people. I have always wondered what writers do when they are not writing a new novel. I mean, like a Danielle Steele, or a J.K Rowling...what do they do when they are not writing a book?

They travel far and wide seeking for what next to write about.

Hmm! Interesting. This is exactly what I want to do with my life, but people keep telling me I am not being realistic. But, it is my life, and I have just one life to live. Anyway, I have stopped listening to what people say. Thanks for the comment.

Hi Kay, I'm guessing writers run a regular life when not writing; hang out with friends and family, travel, carry out hobbies, etc. How's the writing coming on?

Okay. How have u been? It's been a while.

About my writing...I am about to resume again, but I am not really following the rules this time. I am just going to write as much romance novellas as I can till people start recognizing my name. It may take a while, but I have given off writing romance stories (which is my real passion) for too long...I am not getting any younger.

Writers do their normal things when writing or not writing. The only thing good writers do differently when they are not writing is reading

Its going well. I have taken it up fully again after the break I took for my wedding. I try to write at any given opportunity I get. Just finished writing almost a thousand words as that's what my power can carry for now.

NOTHING! Sometimes, I feel so bad, as if I've commited a grave sin whenever I'm not writing. I can't stop writing. It's my passion and talisman.
