Like many of you, I’m going to find it hard to concentrate on creative endeavors for the next few weeks until this godforsaken presidential election is finally over.
We live in distracted times and it’s never easy to concentrate, but the tension in these last few weeks of the election feels next level. It’s one reason I’m so thankful for my editing work with authors, because I find it much easier to lose myself in someone else’s world!
In lieu of a full post, I thought I’d round up some of my “greatest hits” on how to push forward (or not) during stressful times.
- Writing in Times Like These
- Your writing matters
- How to regain your concentration
- How to return to writing after a long break
- How to keep writing when the s*** hits the fan
- Your mind needs time to wander
- Writing will be there when you need it
Also, feel free to schedule a coaching call if it would be helpful! And please be sure and vote!
