The answer? … Start another book!

I finished my book.

And now I don't know what to do with myself.
The answer? … Start another book!

Mary Roberts Rinehart, on writing:

My crime books are actually novels and are written as such.

One might even say that each one is really two novels, one of which is the story I tell the reader,
and the other the buried story I know and let slip now and then into a clue to whet the reader's interest.
- Mary Roberts Rinehart.
