Cinda Williams Chima:
When you feel stressed or you feel pressure from writing, what do you like to do to relieve it?
Cinda Williams Chima
I don't usually feel pressured by writing. I do feel pressured by deadlines. For me, the best way to deal with that is to get the writing done.
I also try to compartmentalize. If I get up early and write until after a late lunch, then I give myself permission to do something else.
If I am feeling pressured by writing, it's usually because I'm being hypercritical of my own writing. I try to give myself permission to write badly.
