Like you, I juggle way too many jobs in the fight to keep writing and support myself. When I asked novelist Heather McElhatton (author of Pretty Little Mistakes) how she survived our frustrating lifestyle, she had a beautiful answer:
"Single moments can sustain you. Moments with friends, pets, nature, favorite TV shows, cocktails, other people's writing, poetry, chocolate, whatever you have to survive on, use it to get to the next day."
In other words, TAKE A FRIGGING VACATION!
That's what I'm doing right now. Sorry for the light posting as of late, I am running around my hometown of Ionia, Michigan, home of that courthouse spire you see on the left. I am relaxing, relaxing and relaxing.
Our regular two-post schedule resumes next week, but this week enjoy the Heather McElhatton interview--she is sharing advice about radio writing, web page building, and choose-your-own-adventuring noveling.
It's like a vacation for your brain too. See you next week...
