5 Reasons To Let Your Writing Rest 1. It settles the frustration. How many times have you written, rewritten, and edited, and the words still donât sound right? Giving your writing a day or two of rest helps drive out irritation. 2.Incubation increases observation and interpretation. After setting your writing aside for a while, you are more likely to view it through the eyes of a reader instead of a writer or editor. It gives new perspective to your writing voice. 3.Fresh ideas hatch when a project incubates. Resting your writing makes room in your head for ideas to form. You might discover a new motivation for your main character or solve a puzzling plot problem. 4. Errors become obvious after some incubation. Youâve said itâ I know you haveâ âWhy didnât I catch that?â When a writer rushes toward a deadline, errors happen. Building in some rest time makes errors seem to leap off the page. 5. Incubation allows you to rebuild your strength. Writing without rest is like an athlete training too long and too hard. Sports medicine has a name for it, Overtraining Syndrome. Some of its symptoms are a washed-out feeling, tiredness, lack of energy, a sudden drop in performance, moodiness, irritability, depression, and loss of enthusiasm. Resting your writing for a scheduled amount of time is like a cold drink on a hot day and a long, refreshing nap. #writing #writers #quotes #grammar #books #tips #cartoon #saying #famous #motivation #words #inspiration #message #positivity #art #script #typo #typing #art #saying #print #motivationalquotes #reading #blogger #author #inspirationalquotes
