      • Give yourself more grace.

        Writing is not easy. It requires a vast amount of creative energy, focus, time, and willingness to learn. If you don't meet a personal goal, be it a word count or a sales number, forgive yourself and move forward. Perhaps you need to strategize, or perhaps you just need to rest. But lingering on the "failure" is not forward momentum.

    • When you were young, did you ever see writing as a career or full-time profession?

      • My mother kept a journal for me beginning in pre-school, in which she documented my favorites, aspirations, awful 80's-baby permed hair, and terrible handwriting. Since I was 5, I indicated I wished to be a writer when I grew up.

        I haven't grown up, but I am a writer.

      • I don't experience "Writer's Block" per se, but I do experience burnout.

        I believe you must take good care of yourself to feed your creativity. If you're struggling, you may need to take a real break: reading, movies, games, hiking, just something that you enjoy and can rest your mind. Take care of your mental health. As I said earlier, also give yourself the grace to do this without guilt.

        I have very rigid schedules to structure my writing time, so when I get back into it, I adhere to the schedule whether I "feel like writing" or not. I have numerous rituals when I start writing from which I do not deviate. I believe these processes help get my mind in the right place when I do decide I'm ready to write.
