I have found that by reading other genres than the one I write in really helps with my own work.

Take a walk, work out, watch a movie, read… destressing is the key to creativity.

Michelle, I’ve been lucky to not have a physical impediment, but I believe everyone has one, be it emotional, mental, spiritual or physical or a combination.

I try to stay positive and have a sense of balance though it’s not always easy.

Going to try Julie’s idea of timer – as I do have an egg timer available.

Thanks for the post Michelle.

I got this tip from Randy Ingermanson. Using a timer, work for 50 minutes, take 10 minutes off. Get up, walk around, check emails, etc. Then get back to work for another 50 minutes and so on throughout the day. It really helps with fatigue and also keeps the work fresher.

People are designed for fellowship. As a writer, you really can feel misunderstood by those around you and somewhat on an island. Discouragement is never far off the shoreline.

I find this social media community of editors, agents and writers to be edifying and encouraging. I consider our “virtual gathering” a critical ingredient to my writing success.

Thank you for your continued efforts with this BLOG.
