You know. The usual routine to get the muse into gear. Sometimes it just won’t work, and as frustrating as that can be, it may be the wiser route to stop bashing your head against the wall and let yourself sit back and recoup from your losses. Because after a while you can get so mentally wound up about breaking through to the sheer genius that is your writing craft that you’re hampering yourself through the load of stress and expectations you’re piling on.
Right now, most of us in this blogging/writing realm don’t toil under a book contract deadline, which might provide the proper spur in the rump motivation to get the words flowing. We have to force ourselves to sit down and hash it out each day under our own impetus. Well, I’m here to tell you that sometimes it’s worth it to give yourself a break. Let the mind unwind however you wish (though I would recommend a legal method of relaxation).

You now have permission to take a break and play. However, don’t forget to go back to the writing sooner or later. And for those of you who were having a fine stretch of productivity which has now been shattered by my evil linkage…well, you can complain in the comments section if you wish.
I see that smile.
