Great reminder! I exploit much more than I explore , and in an effort to tip the scales, I just decided to scale back how much I publish. The saying that living life is the best fuel for creative work is so true !! I have no idea how some creators publish every single day- on multiple platforms. I tried and it leaves me so empty.

I have reading time scheduled each day. Not as much as Stephen King (although I'd love to), but I read every night, most often in my fiction genre (historical mystery). That way I bookend my day with two things I love, the morning for writing and the evening for reading. But I find I also need "imagining" time as well, to really make my fiction work.
