Creative Burnout or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love to Knit by Frank L Tybush V (@FLTV_Writes)
Years ago, I saw a video of Damian Kulash from the band, OK Go, talking about why he makes ceramics as a hobby (I don’t know where the video is now, I would share it if I did). In the video, he said that the constant pressure to make the next record, or the next big video, caused him to feel burnout. He turned to a hobby that he never planned on selling to relieve his stress.
I could relate, even if it took me time to take this advice to heart.
The Dreaded Writer's Block by Robin Woods and Julie Brookshier (@gracewillows201)
The dreaded writers block!
One of the hardest things a writer has to do is to fill a blank page. To start a story and make it so believable that the reader feels they become a part of the novel, is a writer’s greatest challenge. There are so many websites out there with good advice on how to defeat writer’s block, but Robin and I wanted to share our technique for successfully getting our creative ideas on paper.
