levyscriptRecently a mutual of mine made me start changing my thought process. I have been suffering from writer's burnout from a hectic year last year and then taking on a gift exchange where I wrote a new trope and it was 12k words long.
They made me understand I wasn't burned out.No, I was recovering. Needing a break. It helps me with the guilt that would build while I thought me not writing and producing. It's a process because I will still say burnout but it's working remembering.
It's okay to take breaks. Write on your own schedule when you aren't doing events or zines. It makes me think of Hamilton, the musical. How they would say he was always writing like he was running out of time.
Some of us fic writers are like that. And it's okay to take a break. Be it for personal reasons or just need the break. We need to recover ourselves. That we are worth waiting for.
