Welcome to another Open Book Blog Hop. Here’s this week’s question. “How do you turn off your internal editor when you are reading for enjoyment?
Well, to me, that’s like asking, “How do you breathe?” I don’t know. I just do it.
When I lose myself in something I’m reading for pleasure, I rarely think about how the work could be improved or changed. If something stands out, I may mention it when I review the book. Otherwise, I enjoy what I read for pleasure, knowing I don’t have to worry about editing it. I don’t read anything I don’t like.
If you’re an author, how do you turn off your internal editor when reading for pleasure. You can click here to participate on your blog and read other responses. Thank you for stopping by.

Sixteen-year-old Natalie’s grandmother, suffering from dementia and confined to a wheelchair, lives in a nursing home and rarely recognizes Natalie. But one Halloween night, she tells her a shocking secret that only she and Natalie’s mother know. Natalie is the product of a one-night stand between her mother, who is a college English teacher, and another professor.
After some research, Natalie learns that people with dementia often have vivid memories of past events. Still not wanting to believe what her grandmother has told her, she finds her biological father online. The resemblance between them is undeniable. Not knowing what else to do, she shows his photo and website to her parents.
Natalie realizes she has some growing up to do. Scared and confused, she reaches out to her biological father, and they start corresponding.
Her younger sister, Sarah, senses their parents’ marital difficulties. At Thanksgiving, when she has an opportunity to see Santa Claus, she asks him to bring them together again. Can the jolly old elf grant her request?
