It’s care and feeding week at the Genre Hustle! Are you overwhelmed by a harsh inner critic? Uneven writing habits? Staying up until three in the morning? A growing pile of empty wine bottles? Or even… the dreaded writer’s block? These are just a few examples of the problems writers face on a daily basis as we go about the business of being creative.

Being creatively productive is a unique kind of labor that can be emotionally and mentally taxing, so how do you keep yourself on the right side of that divide between genius and insanity? Treat your body like it’s more than just a vehicle for your brain and treat writing like it’s your job. What do we mean by that? Show up to the page, learn how to deal with rejection, and swap out that beer for a cup of coffee! Tune in this week to commiserate with us while we share solutions, strategies, and frustrations about writing.
