One thing freelance writers can never avoid completely is when burnout comes knocking at the door. Right when you have a looming deadline, and you stare at the screen with absolutely no way to transcribe thought to words.
You get through it vowing you'll never take another boring project, article or gig like that again. Until next time. But next time, your memory serves as an enemy, reminding you how awful it really is going to be all over again. And next time is even worse than the time before.
Our minds and bodies are trying to tell us something when this happens. We can choose to listen, or choose not to, but eventually if we refuse to listen the body, mind or both starts to collapse.
Have you ever experienced burnout or writer's block? How do you deal with these very real career and creativity obstacles, which threaten to block your success?
