Do you find it hard to stay focused on your WIP during the summer months? I certainly do. This summer has been crazy so far and I've accepted the fact that I will need a little extra discipline to not let everything slide. Of course, there's nothing wrong with taking a break. In fact, summer can be a good time to do some different activities related to writing and reading. Here are a few things I came up with:
Go to a writing or book festival
Visit the home of a famous author in your area or vacation destination
Write out-of-doors at the beach or park for instance
Plan a trip to the setting of a favorite book
Do some hands-on research by traveling or visiting settings from your WIP (take photos!)
Try an activity one of your characters loves (if it's not your thing already)
Take on some physical challenges to refresh your mind and gear it up for writing later
What are your suggestions?
