I do take breaks, I sometimes schedule them in, and sometimes I have "life moments" that keep writing at bay. I find that I resent when I get stuffed into the not writing by circumstances rather than scheduling, so it galls me and I can't wait to get started again. But when I take a break, I try to do a grand job of it--no writing, no blogging, no crit groups, nada. I find those very helpful.

Getting back to it was the most wonderful thing in the world... apart from being married and having a new baby, obviously, ahem!!Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.com
