The conference will recharge you into writing again. So in the meantime, let the creative part of your brain take a rest.Chemist Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738272332470397248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380936767403386158.post-35384430286744326072014-10-09T09:12:22.253-04:002014-10-09T09:12:22.253-04:00Awwww!

I've handled it by trimming back on blogging and social media, etc. Not so easy to trim the stuff 'in real life.' Sounds like you need a break from everything you can take a break from. Then, after you've had a rest, reevaluate which of those things is most important to you and take back on a few select things. <br /><br />In any case, seasons like these are normal for writers. Don't let it get you down. Ride it out and do what you have to do.

And whatever you do, please: take some time for yourself. Buy a nice bottle of wine and turn your phone off. Or get a hotel room just for yourself for the night. Or take a half day. Whatever it is, do something so that you can have some time to breathe and get back to writing mode. You owe it to yourself!

And even better to have your heroine not be able to get over her own demons and say yes. So, really well done.<br /><br />Second, please, please, please take a break and take care of yourself. Of course you can't write - you're totally depleted. It's painted over every word of this post. Take that as an order. Like I'm a mystical captain of Self-Care or something.<br /><br />Really. You deserve it. Please do. Liz Blockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160510626027597666noreply@blogger.com
