What are some of your favorite things to do when you're not writing? Least favorite?
I love to get involved in really good television which is rare to find, but rewarding when it happens. I've enjoyed Lost, 24, and most recently Downton Abbey and The Mentalist. I adore most Masterpiece Theater BBC presentations--catching anything 19th century is a real treat. I love doing large jigsaw puzzles but I'm extremely picky about what I'll buy in this category. I lean toward art by the Impressionists, and I only do one or two a year during the winter, during breaks from writing and family chores. Family game nights are high on my list, as is reading, but I do that all the time. A least favorite occupation for me is cleaning the bathrooms. (No surprise there, huh?)
If you had a Friday night all to yourself, what would you do?
Wow--I'd love it, first of all! If I had a deadline, whether from a publisher or self-imposed, I'd hunker down and write. If not, I'd look for a BBC special, choose from my own DVD collection, or just get cozy and read one of the many books I've stored on my Kindle. There are times when I'll use a "free" evening to get a special job done, such as rearranging a room or cleaning out a closet. I hate to say I'd waste a whole night that way, but I do! I often have to write, cook and shop during the day so that evenings are the only time to do the extra stuff.
