This is a good answer, Ross. I think often we hear you need to write every day but I find taking a break from time to time refreshes me. When I come back, my writing is more alive!
Agreed! I don't write every day. You can get stale staring at the blinking cursors when you have nothing to say. When I'm writing, its because the plot of the story is living and breathing inside me and NEEDS to be put on paper (or in our case...microsoft word)
Great advice. I might add that putting pain to paper & even writing cursive has been proven to stimulate the imagination.
Sherrie Miranda's "Crimes & Impunity in New Orleans" follows the dramatic story of naive, sheltered Shelly going to “The Big Easy” to prepare for El Salvador, but has no idea she will encounter sexism and witness racism as well as illegal activities by government agents.
Great advice, Ross. Thank you on behalf of writers all over the world.
Ha, ha! I mistakenly typed "PAIN to paper," but actually it's true. When you are feeling pain, try to write about something. It doesn't even have to be about what you're going through. The pain comes through & it is dissipated. As long as I'm writing, I can deal with life. As soon as I stop, things start getting difficult.
Peace.
