If you didn’t have to sleep, what would you do with the extra time?
Ah, the gift of time! Eight hours worth. Well, maybe seven and a half. Or just seven, depending upon how quickly I fall asleep.
What would I do with that time? That would partly depend upon whether the other person in my house didn’t need to sleep either. It might be hard to find quiet activities while he slept.
Reading would be on the top of my list. So many books, so little time. Hopefully the library would stay open late.
On the opposite end of that, think of all the additional time I’d have for writing! Maybe I could write more than one book a year. There’s that gritty female private eye I owe a book (or more) to.
Publicity! I could spend more time on publicity and connect with more readers. Sell more books.Sounds like a plan.
You’ve probably noticed that nothing I’ve mentioned costs money. That’s deliberate. The last thing I want to do with my extra time is put more hours in at my job. (If you’re reading this, boss, sorry, but did you expect anything different?)
Sure, I’d probably spend some time doing housework, or going for a walk, or catching up on those little projects that pile up-—you know what I mean. Maybe I’d even watch a TV show now and then.
The number one thing I’d do? Take time to sit back, listen to some tunes, and relax. I never seem to allow myself that luxury.
Before I close, speaking of publicity, check out my rafflecopter. It’s your chance to win a $10 Amazon gift certificate or signed copies of the first edition, first three paperback books from my Harmony Duprie Mysteries. here’s the link for you to check it out! Rafflecopter

I do like the idea of more music, I’ve been neglecting that. As for marketing, my pet hate. With more time I think I would just be more worried about sounding like a desperate second-hand car salesman.
As far as marketing goes, I’d probably be chasing down every new “thing” that promised to make you a best selling author.
Reading is a good one. I never seem to have enough time to read now.
I’ve got an ever-growing list of books I “should” read!
My husband suggested that – more time to spend together. That was after I wrote my article, which I wrote after I’d just spent the entire day with him hiking our cabin site. I think he was feeling Mother’s Day or something.
I thought about that, and decided my hubby still needed to sleep but I didn’t!
I would read, cook and clean more! Thank you
