I'm so blessed to have as many jobs that I have, but I do agree that there needs to be some downtime. Tori Spelling
I don't mind nothing happening in a book, but nothing happening in a phony way--characters saying things people never say, doing jobs that don't fit, the whole works--is simply asking too much of a reader.
