Sometimes I switch up by playing solitaire, jahjong, jewel block or Stranger Things computer game. FYI, I’m still stuck on level one. An idea been swirling around inside my head all weekend.

...Congrats to your mum! Looks like such a fun book.<br /><br />I haven't had much time to write because I've been doing a lot of freelance work. It can be easy for it to slip away when we're really busy, so I totally agree that it can work wonders to take just a little bit of time out to breathe, as it were.

For me...Great suggestions for dealing with burnout. For me, it was finding the fun and play again, which meant letting myself write whatever I felt like writing instead of what I "should" be writing. I'm back on track now, but I'm keeping myself there by balancing play-time writing with workday writing, so I make progress where I want for my career, but keep the joy in the work. @mirymom1 from<br /><a href="http://samanthabryant.com" rel="nofollow">Balancing Act</a>Samantha Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684962313482409801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-20521767971383868982019-06-09T12:46:32.207-04:002019-06-09T12:46:32.207-04:00Congrats to your mom.

After 10 years in a special education classroom and 10 years of being self-taught in the world of self-publishing (so many more tools and resources avaibable now), I can safely say that I am patient. At this moment, I am patiently waiting to see which of my current projects will get completed before the end of the year. As long as I'm creating, I don't worry about deadlines anymore.

It first started after my second year in a row doing A to Z (in 2015) and got worse when I got hit with my worst depression to date, which actually got triggered by something that happened in the blogging world. Ever since, I've struggled to blog. I keep doing IWSG posts, but otherwise, I keep hoping something will excite me back into blogging again.<br /><br />I hope things get better for you!Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-50217513751894228472019-06-06T11:34:39.310-04:002019-06-06T11:34:39.310-04:00Thank you!
