#221042 - 10/20/15 04:22 PM The Value of Taking Time Off
Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/11/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	Are you a workaholic? Do you pride yourself on working long hours and never taking vacations? I once did, but I'm reformed. I now understand the value of sleep, and the huge benefits to be accrued from planned time off - as in a vacation. Here's a geat article I just ran across that makes the hows and whys of this perfectly clear. And, of course, we really do need to put ourselves first! _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com

I guess this is why the literary world needs editors. I've heard it said, "If you're a writer, write some everyday." But that seems unreasonable. Humans' need to be well-rounded; and, doing nothing but writing is an impossible goal.

Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/11/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	Right Jabber, But what if you just planed to write for 20-30 minutes each day? Like at the end of the day? In a journal? Then you'd be writing, while the events of the day are fresh. But not taking all day to write... _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	That's fine if a person just wants a journal. But if you're trying to write books, it takes time, time, and more time. As you know, the process is very time-consuming. If I didn't have a husband, two dogs and a house to take care of, I'd write more. But as it is, I can only do it part time and that really doesn't do it justice. The truly successful authors, go off by themselves and write in seclusion for 10-12 hours a day. I like writing. But I like living, too.... _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf
