Re: Out Of GAss
J.S.,

         Hey, sometimes you just need to take that break! It's not worth anything (writing, work, cooking, music, etc) if you burn yourself out while trying to achieve your goal.

         I tend to think that "writer's block" is sometimes "writer's burnout," where you work on something so much that you can't stand to look at it for a while. And when that happens... you need that break! I've been doing that today (while also watching the NFL) after writing at least 6,000 words in the Saturday Night overnight. Luckily, I got to a good place to stop and can probably pick the story line back up relatively easy.

         Take some time off, J.S., recharge, and come back to it tomorrow. It will still be there waiting for you, I'm sure!
