When You Don´t Feel Like Writing

It happens to the best of us. We get a terrific writing assignment. The deadline is manageable. The topic is fascinating. We can't wait to get started (or so we think). Then, when it comes time to get writing, all our energy seems to drain away. Our fingers tap at the keyboard as if in slow motion. Our mind wonders, we dawdle. Get distracted. Procrastinate. What's going on?

A temporary inability to concentrate and stay motivated may be a sign of stress or fatigue. As a freelance writer, you'll spend hours each day thinking and writing. It's hard work. So, when you're dealing with assignments, client demands, and the daily pressures of freelancing everyday, you'll need to recharge your batteries every once in a while. Take breaks!
