Take a Break from Writing
Susan Heyboer O’Keefe
Ah, summer! Uh oh, make that ah-ah-ah-choo!
While I’m busy blowing my nose, the rest of you can do some summer surfing. (Hee hee! A pun! Puns are signs of great intelligence!)
1. What better for the dog days of summer than photos of authors with their dogs? Sixteen photos, from the venerable E. B. White to Amy Tan. I myself am allergic to dogs (as well as millions of plants and other animals), but alas, there are no photos of authors with parrots.
2. If that isn’t enough, here’s a bunch of famous writers at the beach. These are vintage authors, meaning dead, in mostly vintage swimwear, meaning funny looking. This is why I don’t swim—so that some day I don’t end up on a list like this.
3. And of course, everyone needs a beach read—in this case, several great YA series. Why a series? I don’t know about you, but I’ll have the time for a series because of all the hours I’ll save not swimming and not walking dogs.
Stay cool! And get back to work!
Thanks Susan for the post. The pictures were a lot of fun.
