Writing... Or Lack There Of

I’m admitting that I haven’t written a thing on my current WIP for three weeks. Maybe a bit
more. It feels like I’m admitting to something a lot worse, but I think it’s safe to say, it’s
something that a lot of us may feel.

I used to see it as a bad thing. Like it meant that I wasn’t serious about becoming published. Now I see it can be a good thing. For the last few weeks I haven’t been writing, I’ve been judging contest entries (to which I thought they were of excellent quality, might I add!). So I really had no time to spare, being a mom and a full-time worker.

I had bouts of guilt, but now I see it was a great break away. Just because I didn’t write, doesn’t mean I didn’t think about it. That break gave me time to go over the current chapter I’m in and work out some of the kinks I was having, that was giving me a dreadful case of WRITERS BLOCK… *cue the scary music*

So, personally, I think a break (not too long) every now and again is perfectly okay. Especially if you’re like me and

1. Volunteer too much
2. Suffer from regular blocks.

That's my excuse, anyway, and I'm stickin' to it!!!
