QuitCast Episode 1.13: Writer Burnout and The Pit (Burnout #4)

QuitCastBy Becca SymeJuly 30, 2019Leave a comment

SHOW NOTES What does burnout really look like? What happens if I can’t stop the inertia of my life, and I hit the bottom? How do I know if that’s happened? And how do I get out of it? If you are headed toward burnout, or are right in the middle of it, I hope…

QuitCast Episode 1.12: Writer Burnout and The Slide (Burnout #3)

QuitCastBy Becca SymeJuly 23, 2019Leave a comment

SHOW NOTES What happens when you’re on your way down to burnout? Shouldn’t you just be able to “stop” doing what you’re doing? Apply the brakes? Well… it depends on how far into burnout you are. Given the amount of writers I’ve coached, and the number of people I’ve either taken through burnout or watched…

Writer Burnout and Energy Pennies (Additional Thoughts)

For WritersBy Becca SymeJuly 17, 2019Leave a comment

A couple of notes I want to make about the Writer Burnout and Energy Pennies podcast episode.

But I feel like I have to talk about it,…

QuitCast Episode 1.11: Writer Burnout and Plate Size (Burnout #2)

QuitCastBy Becca SymeJuly 15, 2019Leave a comment

SHOW NOTES I can get it all done. I can do all the things. But… can you? Given the amount of writers I’ve coached, and the number of people I’ve either taken through burnout or watched go through it, it’s a topic I have a lot to say about. Take a listen, if you’d like.…

Burnout and The Pit (Initial Thoughts)

For WritersBy Becca SymeJuly 3, 2019Leave a comment

Once you’ve fully burned out, “the pit” is where you go to hang out for a while. And it really is not fun. (Which is, I know, diminutive, but… it’s a hard place to be.) What does the pit look like? It looks like: I try to sit in front of my computer and write,…

QuitCast Episode 1.10: Writer Burnout and Energy Pennies (Burnout #1)

QuitCastBy Becca SymeJuly 2, 2019Leave a comment

SHOW NOTES Burnout. Have you been through it? Are you headed for it? Are you convinced it will never happen to you? It would probably be a good idea to take a listen. Given the amount of writers I’ve coached, and the number of people I’ve either taken through burnout or watched go through it,…
