You can say you're going to take a vacation, and you can even take the time, but you might as well not, because the book is still sitting in your head.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Actually, between books is precisely when I do give myself vacations.
A travel book is a book that puts you in the shoes of the traveler, and it's usually a book about having a very bad time; having a miserable time, even better.
I don't normally have time to read, so when I go away I like to take a few books.
I think people read travel books either because they intend to take that trip, or because they would never take that trip. In a sense, as a writer you are doing the travel for the reader.
I don't take vacations.
The purpose of a vacation is to have the time to rest. But many of us, even when we go on vacation, don't know how to rest. We may even come back more tired than before we left.
The idea of a perfect vacation is not working or not having to work and having no appointments.
When a book is going well, it tells you where to go.
A vacation for me is when I'm home and I'm writing.
A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you've been taking.
