Dear Writer, Are You In Burnout? | Becca Syme

“God bless you, chocolate, but you are not a problem solver. Only a symptom soother.”

Ruthiella So true. 🍫🍫🍫 3d

Amiable But it‘s sooo soothing when it wants to be. 🥰 3d

ImperfectCJ I guess it depends on the problem? It could probably solve low blood sugar, at least temporarily. Or critical chocolate deficiency. That's a thing, right? 3d

Clare-Dragonfly @ImperfectCJ It‘s gotta be! 2d

Dear Writer, Are You In Burnout? | Becca Syme

pick

I‘m not in burnout, nor am I concerned I may be approaching it. (How could I be when I‘m barely even writing?) (Don‘t answer that.) But a lot of this is familiar from the past two years going through cancer treatment. In fact, I read this while recovering from the latest (and hopefully last) surgery, hence the picture with my trusty recliner. I hope that if I ever do approach burnout, having read this book will help me recognize and deal with it.

Nonfiction Matters: Reading, Writing, and Research in Grades 3-8 | Stephanie Harvey

A new year & a new nonfiction challenge! #Nonfiction2026

Last year we read about people wanting a change, and fighting for it….so this year we are going to take a deep breath and remember what people fight for, the good things, the things we do not want to lose, the old friends & new acquaintances of Auld Lang Syne, our passions & loves, escape the grind & news & “touch grass”.

As always, fill these any way you choose that works for you.

ncsufoxes I totally forgot to go back last year & do this one. Definitely one of my favorite challenges since I read a lot of NF. Adding it to my list for this year 1w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ncsufoxes I think last year was hard for many, lots going on in real life 1w

Amiable @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Amen. I let go of a lot of challenges last year and just worked to keep my head above water. I appreciate the new board! 1w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Amiable you are not alone and you are very welcome. We are in for the long haul, but we need to take care of ourselves and keep our spirits up too! Take care of yourself out there in this crazy world. 1w

CatLass007 Thank you! I enjoyed 2024‘s challenge so much that I‘m still reading all the prompts and my answers. Last year, not so much, although I‘m still plugging away. I‘m looking forward to 2026! 1w

rockpools This is really lovely. It‘s so easy to get bogged down in the heavy stuff. I need this sort of challenge this year - thank you 🌼 1w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @rockpools me too, I think we all need this this year. 1w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @CatLass007 I‘m still plugging away at last years too. Maybe I‘ll finish that one eventually 😂. The thought was good, but although I anticipated their throw everything at the wall & see what sticks, I did not fully anticipate the level of shock & awe and throw everything at us so we could not concentrate on any 1 thing for 2 whole seconds level of chaos. Just keeping up with the daily news was a job in itself, my reading of anything not news ⤵️ 1w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ related dropped significantly last year. 1w

CatLass007 My reading of the news dropped significantly last year. A couple of months into the year, I forced myself to look at my newsfeed only once per day. . 1w

Dear Writer, You Need to Quit | Becca Syme

pick

Well, I feel like Becca Syme just crawled inside my head. And then shook me hard. Yes, from inside. She‘s just that good.

I just decided to do a Kobo Plus subscription for at least a couple of months, and most of her books are available there, so I‘m definitely going through them. (Actually, I just started a free trial and after seeing how many Syme and T. Kingfisher books are on it, I‘ve decided it‘s well worth paying for.)
