Rest, But Don’t Stop, After Meeting a Writing Milestone

After a big push to get a project done, it’s easy to slack off. Not that you don’t deserve a break after something like National Nonfiction Writing Month (NaNonFiWriMo). If you took part in the Write Nonfiction in November (WNFIN) challenge, you surely deserve a break—in particular if you started and finished a work of nonfiction in 30 days. That’s a big accomplishment. My advice, however, is this: Rest, but don’t stop, after meeting a writing milestone

A few days or a week off can turn into a month before you know it. You can lose your excitement, energy and courage if you don’t keep moving forward with your writing project–and most writing projects don’t just end when you think you’ve finished. There’s always another revisions or query letter to write or promotion to do. (To continue reading this post, click here.)
