How to Not Lose Your Mind Writing
March 9, 2011
You will all have to forgive me. I am buried in work. I am buried in edits, and at the moment this is a very hard thought. I love writing, and with my “edit” (okay I’ll call it like it is– total re-write) I have had less time to write on the places and things I love doing.
So, a change. Some fun.
How to NOT lose your mind Writing….
1) Scrap the day-timer… especially with edits. They seem to take longer than expected.
2) Yell. Loud. It works. Really it works.
3) Don’t Get Buried… okay, since I am already there can someone please come and “unbury” me?

Hey
I can empathise. A part of me is happy you have lots of work to do – in this biz, having work is a good thing. But I also know how overwhelming it can be, and sometimes it even reduces the joy of writing.
So don't forget to take a break for yourself, rest. You'll be more productive. And I say this because sometimes I've gone on until I crashed, and it was not healthy and it took me long to recover.
