What is writer’s burnout?
Burnout is very different from writer’s block. It’s worse. Writer’s burnout is something you feel deep down…bone-deep. It’s just like when athletes burnout from working themselves too hard and too much for too long. They can lose their love of the sport, physically and mentally.

Organization Tip: Agent Lists #AuthorToolBoxBlogHop
#AuthorToolBoxBlogHopJoin HERE
Submitting to agents and publishers is time-consuming. When you’re doing this process, you need to be organized. You don’t want to send to the same publisher twice in one month or send to multiple agents in the same agency. (Many say if it’s a no from one agent, it’s a no from all.) And most agents want the right to say yes or no before you give it to another agent in their house.
Something to keep you orderly during this process is a simple notebook or...

The Legend of the Pumpkin-Head Costume - Halloween Ride by Elaine Kaye
You can find my Author Toolbox Blog Hop post here.
***
Please welcome my mom Elaine Kaye to Write with Fey!
The pumpkin-head costume is legendary in my family…
It all began on one Halloween night many years ago when my son wore the pumpkin-head costume. There were many tears. And screaming. And flat-out refusal. My son did not want to be a pumpkin! I don’t know why. I handmade the costume. It’s silky-soft and adorable. But my son wasn’t having any part of it.

Organization Tip: Email Folders #AuthorToolBoxBlogHop
#AuthorToolBoxBlogHopJoin HERE
I like to be organized. It’s true, especially when it comes to being a writer/author. I am my boss. I am the manager of my business. Organization is key when you’re running a business, and that’s precisely what you’re doing.
Previously I mentioned how I keep track of my expenses and earnings. I’ve also hinted at how I use email folders to save receipts and blog tour emails.
Well, I have a lot more email folders than that.
As a matter of fact, I have email...

Organization Tip: Writing Backpack #AuthorToolBoxBlogHop
#AuthorToolBoxBlogHopJoin HERE
Being a Floridian, I am no stranger to the dangers of brush fires. When I was a kid, a fire surrounded my house on all sides. I had to run inside and grab what I wanted to save. All I remember saving was my blanket and school backpack.
Ever since that day, I’ve had a very real fear of fires. More specifically, a fear of losing my home to one. This worry resulted in something that has come in handy during hurricane season and severe thunderstorms, too.
So,...
