What do you do when you've been away for a long weekend? The house is freezing, no food in the fridge. Buy a takeaway or grab something quick; gradually get going again. Easy solutions off the shelf.
A book can also grow cold after three days of neglect. How to get started again? Could be a nerve wracking Monday morning ahead. Maybe go out for an early morning of birding - put writing off until the afternoon? Have another day off; leave the book until Tuesday?
No such thing! Take a tip from your mother. Remember your childhood. Leftovers are the thing for a Monday. Heat them up or eat them cold. Same with writing a book. Never consume your thoughts all at once - leave a little on the side for later.
Easy then to pick up where you left off; add something a little tasty to make it fresh.
