I really hit a wall last week so I'm taking a week-long break. How do other self-published authors deal with #burnout ?

I took an extended break before assessing my goals and establishing some boundaries.

I took some time to think about how I wanted to live the rest of my life as a writer and what I needed to do/change to make that happen.

@abolson It depends. If I'm in the middle of a depressive episode, then there's not much to do than wait it out. I rest and watch a lot of TV when this occurs. When I'm just blocked, I generally read through my outline and tweak things here and there. Sometimes this is enough to get me writing again.
@NormBoyington Unfortunately right now I think I'm more the former than the latter.
