I am admittedly a bit of a workaholic. I think many writers are. There’s always another scene to be written.
(grins)
But working all the time leads to burnout and unhappiness. And that, ultimately, decreases overall word count. It doesn’t increase it.
So I now schedule do nothing time into my schedule. (Truly, this is non-working time as we’re always doing something, even if that something is staring into space and breathing.)
I take naps. I sit in the garden and watch the butterflies flutter from flower to flower. I talk about absolute silliness with the Dear Wonderful Hubby. (smiles)
Life isn’t a race. Slow down, my friends. Enjoy it.
