I Might Need A Break From Writing
Something strange is happening right now. Whenever I try to write something, my brain fizzles and turns to mush. I can’t get more than a paragraph before my brain stops trying to work.
I don’t know if I’m trying too hard or can’t get into any material lately. But this problem feels unshakable.
So I’ll do the only logical thing I can think of for the rest of the week. I’m taking a break.
It’s not good timing since I’ve written only two articles this month, but what choice do I have? It’s been building up forever, and topics aren’t forming like they used to.
Part of me feels like I’m letting myself down. I have a few more weeks before the summer portion of my job kicks in. But if I’m too fried to do anything it’ll feel like I never took a vacation.
Burnout is burnout. I’m not making the same mistake I made in China. I’m catching the signals now and taking a break.
While I’m gone, take the time to join Medium for an all-access pass to my work! Your support helps small writers like me! Thank you!
