Avoiding burnout as a writer

February 15, 2019 / Lisa Kenway / 8 Comments

When you decide to take writing seriously—to work towards making it a career rather than a hobby—the self-applied pressure can be enormous. Advice flows freely from successful writers: write every day, publish or perish, engage on social media, rejections are fuel.

Worth a read if you like well-written character-driven psychological thrillers. @midnightsunpublishing #bookstagram #australianthrillers #psychologicalthriller
Peak middle-aged excitement over a new pair of multifocals. Still deciding whether I like the frames. #glasses #newglasses #writersofinstagram
Hard at it on my library writing day as I work through feedback from my cherished early beta readers. If I haven’t asked you to read the manuscript yet, you’re probably next! #neverendingedits #selfiebreak #writersofinstagram #amwriting #amwritingsuspense #domesticsuspense #betareadersarethebest #feedback #writerfriends #writinglife
Cake makes everything better. #italianpearcake #comfortbaking #weekendcooking #yum
