Breaks and Balance




dominique said...

I'm reading a book by Julie Cameron called, The Right to Write. In the section that I am reading she talks about taking breaks from reading so we can refill our creative tanks. She says that often reading replaces our creative outlets and we get stuck.

She mentions, too, how hard it is for us writers to not read. But she says it is necessary so we can fill our minds and souls with other things than words.

So don't feel too bad about not reading. Maybe that was a good thing. And you are feeling up to writing again so all is good.

Hope you are feeling better and your creativity flows abundantly.

I actually found that while I was feeling completely burnt out, reading (books, not blogs) was the first thing I got back to. This actually led to me getting enthusiastic and creative again. I often find that when my creativity dries up, it's because I haven't been reading enough.

I've heard of the book you mentioned many times and am thinking it's time to add it to my library list.
