By looking after yourself, you ensure that Cesar and Saul are properly cared for too (to torture anew). Your devoted readers (like me) are in this for the long game. Go easy. Remember to hold on to the joy.
The financial metaphor works so well for this. Recently a friend and I were discussing the fact that everyone we know has been living 'hand to mouth' for far too long as far as energy and emotional reserves go. It's difficult!
Grinding away here, too. I’ve come to realise how important the work / life balance is. Reminds me of Chekov. When one aspiring writer asked him how he could improve his own work, Chekhov replied “If you want to improve your work, improve your life.”
Another very pertinent newsletter. Funnily enough my book 3 is set in dark workload academia - senior management in HE make for ideal murder victims. If you know, you know. ;)
Secondly...thank you. As a reader we get to indulge in the final wonder of your very hard work. I don't know how you do it while teaching at the same time. Take a breather and don't lose your love for writing. That's what Saul would tell you to do.
It’s so important to give yourself space, even when there’s a deadline looming. It feels like you should feel guilty for a break but I think it’s a false economy to just push yourself relentlessly all the time. It will only catch up with you later!
