Today’s Note from Charlotte:
The only way I can work hard is if I rest hard. That means sandwiching long writing sessions with low obligation days on when I have intense stretches of writing. Today has been full of naps and plenty of rest after sending the latest version for the Spiritual Direction for Writers® book to my editor yesterday. I’m also doing a little fun writing here and there for a project that’s been on hold while writing the SDW book. But mostly, I’m resting. I love long holiday weekends at home with no obligations. It’s such a luxurious experience of time. If you don’t have the same luxury for whatever reasons, I hope you can fit at least a little rest or blank space in between now and whenever your regular work week starts back up.
