A Break Please?

I have to say, I’m going on vacation soon and it couldn’t come at a better time. Do you ever feel like you are walking through a fog and you do things and you are somewhat productive but you really can’t remember how you did everything you did or what you even did to some degree. That has been me lately. It feels like I’m on autopilot, but if I stop to think about it (which can be a very dangerous thing as it seems to knock me off kilter) then there seems to be a vague realization that I’m just exhausted.

Just saying I’m exhausted makes me feel like a bit of a spoiled brat. Don’t get me wrong, it has been busy and I work in finance so the markets have been dizzying with all the ups and downs but I literally just had a vacation at end of year/beginning of 2018. Granted it was a family vacation with everybody at our house but still, it was a different kind of work.

This time around, we are going to Disney World which I haven’t been to since I was a kid. This too will probably be an exhausting vacation but I’m still looking forward to it. I went to Disney World years ago for a writers’ conference and found it one of the most magical experiences in my writing “career” if you can call it that. It wasn’t because of the rides and it certainly wasn’t due to the food. I simply found the inspiration for my imagination incredible—not to mention all the other writers there really helps get you excited about the craft.

So for those of you feeling the burn of exhaustion, hang in there and don’t forget to take breaks. Doesn’t need to be Disney but let your mind and body recoup somehow.

In the meantime, happy writing this week!
