Time to Recharge - Tips for Authors

Sometimes your day-to-day routine or your writing life gets in a run. You hit a wall, or maybe you just have the blahs. It’s time to recharge. Here are some ideas you may want to give a try…

  • Start another creative project (other than writing). Make something or rehab or refurb something. Learn a new craft or a new skill. Creativity comes in a lot of different forms.

  • Organize a closet, your desk, or your junk drawer. Putting things in order creates a sense of accomplishment and spruces up your space.

  • Volunteer. Many organizations are looking for people to do a variety of tasks. A change of scenery is always good. And giving back is important.

  • Go for a walk, hike, or bike ride or start a new exercise routine. It’s good for your health, and the endorphins always stimulate creativity.

  • Get out your camera or phone and go on a photo safari. You can always blog about your adventures, share them in your newsletter, or use them as copy for your social media sites.

  • Take a class or a course. It’ll spark ideas, and you have the opportunity to learn something new. There are so many few free or low-cost courses.
