Fuel Your Writing: The Importance of Taking Breaks

Writers, here’s a gentle reminder that you need your lunch break. We have books to write. That means we need our lunch breaks to preserve fuel for the writing process. I think it’s cool when people write through their lunch break, but that’s not even what I’m saying here. I’m saying take your break, however that looks. If you’re too tired to write, your book will never be written.

I was reminded last night (all night) that I need to be more intentional about my focused writing time. That means planning in the energy needed to write throughout my day. Say no to anything beyond necessity that saps your energy and takes you away from your creative calling.

You have full permission to be a creative in this world. It’s yours for the grabbing!

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
