And true. But so are the points you make. I know that when I take a break, get away from the work for a little bit, I am refreshed and the writing/ ideas/ creativity flows more freely when I return from that break.Cynthia Chapman Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12408985785062180536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-48773508007829678972012-02-08T00:00:40.998-05:002012-02-08T00:00:40.998-05:00So bowling IS on the list! ;)

Writing, reading, and critiquing are the best ways to improve your writing, but often, one needs to take a huge step back to gain some perspective. Whenever I feel that burnout, I've learned to do just that, take a step back. I just managed to write the first chapter of my next WIP using this method. And while I'd love to do a little bowling, it's way too expensive!!Nancy Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-2540107014594568682012-02-06T18:51:30.286-05:002012-02-06T18:51:30.286-05:00"with fingers not just poised over the keyboa..."with fingers not just poised over the keyboard, but actually typing and making things happen" This made me smile.

I'm somewhat horrified. *Grins* <br /><br />That reminds me! Did you see <i>Road to the NHL Winter Classic</i> last year? They had this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJBVLNKsGmE" rel="nofollow">clip</a> of Ovey saying, "They chose me, so it means I have a very good face."

Especially if I'm having trouble moving forward on something, an activity unrelated to writing can sometimes help jar things loose in my head.
