2 thoughts on “Eight Ways to Create Margin in Your Author Life”
Mary Van Everbroeck
Hi Kathrese. Your guidelines for creating margins to read and write are very effective. I have used all of them in hospice and grief situations. You are correct when you say that we have to pull in, advocate and nurture ourselves, and not allow ourselves to feel guilty that we’re not able to meet many commitments. Reading and writing fiction became my haven, my sanctuary, throughout my husband’s illness and passing. Thinking of you and your family during this time.
Thanks so much for reading the article and taking a moment to leave such a thoughtful answer. I agree; reading and writing fiction is a wonderful haven from mental stress. It gives us a much-needed break between the many things that come our way.
