What to Do When You’re Experiencing Writing Fatigue?
What do you do when you grow tired of writing? By tired I mean you have done much writing and you don’t feel like it anymore.
I can hear some of you saying go and read a book. But what if you’re tired of the written word? What if short stories, poems or even motivational books increase your `fatigue’?
You need a breath of fresh air. You have to recharge yourself by switching to a non-word medium. You could pick up a coffee table book and just concentrate on the photographs.
Or watch a Charlie Chaplin silent movie or just watch a movie in a language that’s foreign to you without the subtitles on.
Without the subtitles on, you’re forced to concentrate on the expression of the actors and their actions.
Alternatively, you could watch a movie in a language you understand but don’t write in.
I’m missing writing! (I miss my computer!) There’s no way to do anything except write short replies like this on the rehab’s computer, and it is impossible to read any replies so that’s frustrating, too.
