Taking Breaks

Written for:  2023 Get Started Right Writing Challenge - Day 6

"For today, read an article on writing; then, comment about something you learned and/or something you'd like to learn about writing, publishing, or anything else in 2023. The article doesn't have to be from this site, but we have quite a lot (with a few possibilities listed below under the categories of Craft of Writing, Business of Writing, and Author Spotlights)."


Under Author Spotlights, I was immediately taken with Roselle Lim:
"On Resting in the Writing Process".  I've always been a bit afraid
of taking time off.  Ms. Lim talks about preventing burnout.  Timeouts 
are necessary for refreshing yourself and your ideas.  In addition,
I related strongly to her mention of vivid memories of her relatives
who have been gone for some time.  I realize that my standout memories
of my own relatives are usually from their later years.  As you age,
loneliness can set in, if you do not have a creative outlet that you can 
share.  Mine is writing.  I am a senior.

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
