Devoted to publishing, publishers and to those who craft the written word

"I've been doing a lot of two things lately -- 1) thinking about how I should be writing, and 2) writing, but not as much as I should."

That's Five Easy Questions graduate and dayjob writing expert Jeffrey Yamaguchi on his site, writing about his own life--but I feel his pain. When work and life commitments pile up, it's really, really challenging to sit at that table and write.

To my mind, there are three ways out of this problem...

1- You can get fired from (or quit) your dayjob like Christopher Hitchens did early in his career. 

2- You can go someplace surreal and inspiring, and use that burst of energy to keep writing--which I did last week.

3- Or, you can find some great writing music and power through the exhaustion. That's the best option, I think, and 52 Projects has a great discussion about what kind of music works best when you are sitting at the desk and writing. Join in and start writing again.
