On a Jet Plane/Finishing My Book [Dear Thursday]
Sorry for the lack of book reviews lately. We’re in serious overhaul mode, preparing to launch a whole book review department in September-Octoberish. Also, I’m putting the finishing touches on my second novel, which I’m determined to get off my computer by this weekend. Which brings us to the main point of today’s post: What do you do on planes?
Me? I read for about 30 minutes, then I write until the captain tells me to turn off all my electronics, at which point I pull out a magazine. In my opinion there’s no better place to write than on a plane. There’s just something about hurtling through the sky in a hunk of metal that allows me to get all sorts of work done.
But how about you? What do you do on planes? Read? Watch the in-flight movie? Or do you, like me, use plane rides as mile-high office space? Sound off in the comments!

There’s nowhere that I work better than on an airplane. When I don’t have two toddlers with me, that is.
Yeah, I absolutely love plane rides alone but absolutely dread plane rides with Betty. We’re going to STL tomorrow and I’ve been dreading the getting there part since Monday.
Picked up your book this week (on CD) and had to finish it that day. I lost sleep over this book. Loved 16 Candles and other teen movies of the 1980s and truly enjoyed the book. When I finished, I went online to see what else you had written. Looking forward to the next.
I read or work on the plane. Bought a Kindle last year, but always try to have a book or magazine for the non-electronic phase of the flight. If you are addicted to video games (they have some on the Kindle) this is a great way to pass many hours on the plane. I also nap.
Oh, I love when people lose sleep over 32 — thanks for the read. I’m also a huge napper on planes. I love going overseas, b/c you can read, work, and nap. Perfect!
