BellaOnline Forums Career Fiction Writing Getting through Writer Burnout

Just home from a wonderful 10-day cruse starting in Tampa and going to Key West, Puerto Rico, and St. Maarten. We were supposed to stop in Haiti but sadly the unrest there is still spiraling worse. I am grateful that I could spend an evening with my sister, Tammy, before departing. I'm also immensely grateful to my mom and stepfather for taking me on the trip. It was wonderful spending so much time with them and with Jane and John.

I had a fantastic time taking photos throughout the trip - and I'm thrilled that the time rekindled my passion for writing. I had gotten burnt out after finishing a quite dark series last autumn and for a few months I just could not find the fire to write any more. I'm so, so pleased that it has at last returned to me.

BOL has really made a difference in my writing life. As of March 13th, I will have written at least one article each week for an entire year - that's a personal record for me. I'm really enjoying both sites, and looking forward to continuing the learning process.
