I've been doing NaNo and Camp NaNo since 2011, and while I hate to take a break and ruin my streak, at the same time, as I've got busier and things have got overwhelming, I find I need to take some break days away from my book so I can keep writing fun and not have it topple the pile of things to do. As long as you come back to it soon, sometimes a break really can be the best thing.<br /><br />Last book I read? I'm partway through Jarvis 24 by David Metzenthen at the moment, and I just finished reading The Edge of Water by Elizabeth George.

I really need the recharge. But doing just a five minute, hour, or day break is helpful as well. ^ ^<br /><br />storitorigrace.blogspot.comVictoria Grace Howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01849013182543674707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445138433367622139.post-40483857475127785112015-07-10T11:56:53.846-05:002015-07-10T11:56:53.846-05:00This is really great advice(even if I usually find...This is really great advice(even if I usually find myself taking too many breaks!).<br /><br />Psst!

I'm super excited to read the next one, though some reviews have said that the content gets a bit more...iffy... so I'm not sure how far I'll get through it.

Besides, there are plenty of things to do that aren't always writing related. I'm actually not taking breaks at the moment, but I'm working hard so that I can take a break and go on vacation at the end of the month.
