And I too have compiled song groupings for books. Juliet even sends me songs that speak to her about my characters. It helps.<br /><br />I can sit and listen to the ocean for hours. It clears all the other noise out of my mind.<br /><br />Addison, I miss seeing your smiling face.<br /><br />Estella, there is an amazing quality to a good book that can really take a person out of their world and into another. It's great.<br /><br />Juliet, back to the computer. Enough blogging, girl. We both have deadlines!Pamela Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07673215467505231212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-78792728910936688912010-05-15T19:54:29.619-05:002010-05-15T19:54:29.619-05:00Howdy, CP.

If I didn't know how much you need this break, I'd have hogtied you to your office chair and not let you go.<br />Have a wonderful time and hi to jean for me,<br />JJuliet Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262206330752624327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-6045434148821648002010-05-15T16:14:42.857-05:002010-05-15T16:14:42.857-05:00I grab a Diet Pepsi, a good book and put mu feet u...I grab a Diet Pepsi, a good book and put mu feet up and read.Estellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199693275287344161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-82708097204919696682010-05-15T10:37:46.230-05:002010-05-15T10:37:46.230-05:00Pam:

Your trip sounds wonderful!<br /><br />Personally, anything that involves a stretch of time and a good book usually does it for me. I also love taking walks - they clear the head and have that lovely side benefit of actually being good for you!! :-)<br /><br />Safe travels and we'll catch you on the flipside!<br /><br />AddisonAddisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961526865988112043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-81841718565215553422010-05-15T09:52:35.997-05:002010-05-15T09:52:35.997-05:00Waving at you, Pam.

I have been know to burn an album or two - just in case they make the book into a movie and the director wants my input!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Anyway, since I do my best creative thinking in a horizontal position, I lie in my favorite chair with a blanket and put on the headphones to listen to my story songs. <br /><br />Actually, that's sort of like listening to the waves of the ocean. I'm very jealous, but hope you have a great time.Liz Lippermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01807045909635613933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-79189639805406675732010-05-15T09:12:04.441-05:002010-05-15T09:12:04.441-05:00Hi Linda and Marcie.

Romance novels and escapism is what started me writing. <br /><br />Marcie, the yardwork thing can work for me sometimes too. Our new house has a large yard and lots of birds and squirrels. Even an occassional bobcat at night so my hubby says, although I haven't personally seen any. I think it's that beauty of nature thing that does the trick.<br /><br />I'm headed to the airport. Will check back in from Palm Springs tonight.Pamela Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07673215467505231212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-41631867021098939042010-05-15T08:05:17.580-05:002010-05-15T08:05:17.580-05:00I have to agree with Linda - nothing like a good b...I have to agree with Linda - nothing like a good book to forget your troubles, if only for a little while.<br />I too like sitting on a beach and soaking in the sun and listen to the waves.<br />If I'm home - after my weekly yard work, I'll sit outside, prop my head back on the chair, soak some sun and listen to the birds. Another relaxing moment - birds singing.Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177110741740049917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-41380831083165682592010-05-15T02:06:44.594-05:002010-05-15T02:06:44.594-05:00When I am really stressed out and need to relax, I...When I am really stressed out and need to relax, I read a romance novel. lol It puts everything else out of my head.linda snoreply@blogger.com
