Bad Hair Day: How to Give Yourself a Writing Break

I have a confession to make. I was about to write a brilliant blog post with some killer content rules.

But honestly? It’s almost Christmas. When a holiday approaches, it feels like a big conductor is waving his baton over the working people of the world, urging them to slow to largo and soften the music.

I’m putting in extra hours this week ahead of my vacation, but I’m not immune to the heavy lull smoothing across society.

So I’m giving myself a break.

The thing is, you’ve often had this struggle. You’re staring at the blank blog post page or the newsletter you need to write and the words are just not there.

It happens to all of us. Whether it be Christmas or that perfect sunny day in May calling your attention out the window, some days you just have a “bad hair day” when it comes to writing.

That’s OK. After all, no one is perfect — not even the writers of the world. So put on a hat, smile and take a deep breath.

You can start fresh in the new year.
