Getting Started After A Long Weekend

As I'm sure you've heard, this past Thursday was Thanksgiving in the US. It is a huge travel holiday. Consequently, most schools close early on Wednesday and do not resume classes until Monday. Many employers also give workers part or all of Wednesday off, too. This, as you can imagine, makes for a very long holiday weekend.

It is also incredibly disruptive for a writer.

I am one of those writers who writes pretty much every day. This year, however, I took off Wednesday to cook, spent Thursday with relatives, and then spent the weekend with my son. And as happy as I was to reconnect with my son, who is an adult with his own life, interests and social circle, such a lengthy time away from the writing studio made it incredibly difficult to get my brain back into my work.

So I ask you - what do YOU do to get back into the game after a huge distraction like a 5-day holiday? And do you have any Christmas holiday survival tips?

Until next post, be well and stay safe. ~ Lisa
