Days Off?

Should a writer take days off? Steven King says write every day (so do I, usually). Writers will often brag about the hours they put in, and if you work a day job, is writing your job on your day job days off? Oof. Sounds like a lot of work.

For me writing time is me time too. In a way, it’s part of my relaxation. Editing? Similar most of the time. Marketing, admin, and taxes? That’s work.

But what does that mean to you? Well, as many other things, it depends. Some people need quiet time to think without writing. And even your creative brain needs a break. But you have to get to know you-your most creative time for writing, how to balance the rest of your life, and more.

We can coach you. Offer advice. But you have to listen to you for all of this writing life to work.

So, do you take time off? What does that look like?
