Feeling Rebellious I tell ya!

I'm feeling a little rebellious this week.

Serious. I ate a whole bag of chocolate chips to prove it.

So I'm unplugging. Getting some of that treadmill loving in my life. Plus I have to prepare a lesson I'm giving this week and having a hard time finding any time.

Which brings me to lesson 2  from LTUE.

Take time for yourself.

We writers seem to eat, sleep, and dream about our stories and characters. Sometimes it helps the creative process to take a break (or eat a bag of chocolate chips...).

So, I'm taking a break and hope to be better next week. What are your thoughts on breaking from writing for a while? Does it help you?

It does help...though, sometimes just a break from the type of writing that has been consuming me helps just as much. Usually, writing is an escape for me. Enjoy your me-time!

Breaks are good. I hope you enjoy yours!

I've found breaks to be very rejuvinating - as long as I don't let them continue for too long!

Taking care of yourself needs to be a high priority. Give yourself permission and enjoy. LG
