How Writers Can Stay Productive During Summer Without Burnout
by Lynn H. Blackburn @LynnHBlackburn
Summer lied to you.
Don’t feel bad. It lied to me too.
Every spring, as I hang on through the chaos of baseball season and deadlines, summer tells me that all the time in the world awaits. Summer seduces me with visions of long, lazy days where I rise before the kids, sip my coffee, and pound out 1000 words before the heat of the day reaches my back deck. Summer tells me I will be so productive that I’ll definitely be able to finish my book before the leaves fall.
Dear Reader, summer lies.
