I write because I have stories that insist on seeing the light of day. And I'm having fun doing it and seeing my books on the shelf at the local bookstore. I have a blog with a little over 200 followers but don't do any other social media. When I run out of things to say or it stops being fun, I'll stop doing it. I'm fortunate that my first career in IT made my author journey possible. I know everyone doesn't have that. Enjoy a much deserved break. Merry Christmas and happy new year!
All of this advice is logical and sound. Sometimes we DO need to take a break (from editing, marketing, and/or even writing itself), and this is true whether for romance or any other genre. Thanks for posting, @Kay Freeman, and enjoy that "downtime to recharge."
I love reading your blog and hearing your story Kim. It is always uplifting to hear from you. You are my hero!

Dear Kay,
As usual you're right on with this blog!
Enjoy your holiday!
We have-sadly-returned to AZ, for now. Our house wasn't selling and it wasn't sustainable to stay until we have the funds from a house sale.
I'm working on getting my third book out for Christmas!
Be well - I look forward to staying in touch -
Hugs,
Shelley

Good luck with selling the house and getting the third book out. Yes, do stay in touch Shelly!
