A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Steve Downes:

I know it's good to take breaks between drafts but I sometimes feel creatively exhausted and nothing comes for days and then one day words flow in a sudden rush, which makes me think that breaks during a draft might be a good idea. Do you ever feel this way?

Steve Downes I generally write 5 days a week so I have 2 days off to let my mind relax, it seems to work for me, try different systems and find which works best for you
