As writers, we can work from anywhere. Whether that be a desk, a park bench, slouching on the sofa, or walking and dictating into our phones, we have no excuse not to write at any time. And what about all those times when we settle down to sleep with a plot problem, and wake up the next morning with a solution? We’re so lucky, we can practically work 24/7.
Or can we?
Our writing business is all based upon creativity. It doesn’t matter whether we write novels, articles, poetry, short stories, or stage plays. Without the ability to come up with new ideas, capture them, and then write them in an engaging and entertaining way, we have no business.
For some, the August Bank Holiday will be an extra day away from the office for them to focus on their writing. For self-employed writers, it’s just like any other day. But could taking a day off from our writing actually help our creativity in the long run?
