Brenda Novak:
Have you ever had a time, where you felt burn out from all the writing that you do constantly? I know a few authors who have written so many books and then they just can't find the motivation for writing...do you have any advice for those writers?

Hi Danielle--
Thanks for your question. It's definitely one I've never received, but burnout is a real problem, especially for those who are always pushing to turn out more books. Fortunately, I haven't experienced it yet (knock on wood). I think it's because I'm always feeling challenged, always wanting to turn out a better and better book. The pursuit of that keeps me interested and actively engaged. For those who might experience it, I would suggest taking a break and refilling the "well." Sometimes our bodies and brains just need to rest.
