- Open up your word doc and stare at it
- Maybe add a few hundred words to that one project no one else knows about
- Think about writing 10000x a day
- Read a book
- Watch a show while also having that word doc open
- Stress about all the edits you need to make
- Dream about your WIP
- Daydream about your WIP
- Clean your whole house while pretending like you’re nothing thinking about your WIP
- Tell everyone how great it is to take a break from writing
I’ve been there. It’s perfectly alright, even necessary, to take breaks like this. I do the same sometimes when I have multiple, competing priorities. A break rejuvenates and reenergizes me. Cheers!
