Writing can be Exhausting

Writing and submitting is much like landing a job interview. You search where to send your story, tweak your cover letter to match the organization, and submit.

Unless you are an artist or writer it’s hard to understand how creativity can he tiring. How much life it can suck out of you. Looking back at the job interview scenario, we can see how waiting for a response can be stressful. Either for the job or the manuscript.

So, why do I bring up this comparable? Because if you fail at landing a job it’s the same feeling of a manuscript being rejected. Regardless of why (better candidate) you need time to rest and recharge.

Even working on a new project might be too much at the time. Your ability to be creative can only flourish when it has time to recharge.
