Fiction Writing - Balance life or Burnout!

Dear potential author,

Balancing life takes careful planning.  That's right planing.  I talked about it in my previous post.  If you don't somehow plan you will burnout!  I repeat you will burnout!

This happened to me awhile back.  Believe me it is not a pretty sight.  When you have to be the maid, cook, do the laundry, shopping, take care of the pets, take care of a sick parent,  keep your hubby happy, listen to everybody's problems never mind your own and don't get me started on keeping your writing and publishing schedule.  It can get hectic.  Solar flair hectic.

Now some will ask me, but why don't you get help.  I would love help, but until I have the money  to lighten my load.  I will have to do what I can.

Here are a couple of rules you could implement:  

  1. Have house rules Have some kind of schedule 
  2. Have a weekly menu 
  3. Have a day off -This will keep you sane 
  4. Have a date night with your partner/spouse 

Remember the rules I have here works for me.  We are all different.  Find what works for you and do that.  But for Pete's sake, don't wing it.  One last thing, be adaptable.  

Until we meet again,  

Just Write
