I have this constant fire in my heart that I need to be making something. My default state is to be in the middle of a project, always making progress. I burnt myself out a bit with the novella I just released and I am taking a much needed break. Taking a break does not come naturally to me but I know I need it. It is a much overlooked step in the creative process.

@BipolarArtist You've worked so hard on your novella and now it's time to HAVE FUN. Do you cook? Craft? Paint? Look for a creative outlet and ENJOY.
@Writelighter a break for me right now is a break from all things creative. I am reading and trying to go to bed a little earlier until that spark kicks off again. Some #wip’s waiting for me include two novels, an 11 song album, a poetry chapbook which is written but I need to finish illustrations for and a 3 color Linocut print. They will all come out better if I take this time to recharge!
@BipolarArtist You sound like you know what you need and are listening to your body. ❤️
