Do you have any writing advice for mee?? I'm currently experiencing extreme burnout from writing several chapters in a day for months at a time. I haven't written even a chapter since the beginning of last night bc it's so hard to get back into writing, so I've just been binge-reading for weeks. What do I do to get back into love with writing because I want to be an author?

Nenia Campbell I think sometimes it's okay to take a break and just go back to reading. I've had to take hiatuses as an author because of both my day job and my mental health, because I've learned that when I force it, the quality of my writing suffers and my stress goes way up. When you do writing professionally, it isn't always fun, because it becomes a quasi-job, so I think it's important-- just as with other jobs-- to set realistic goals and boundaries, while also maintaining a good work-life balance.
