Most of us have a way we like to write. I always used to just type my words directly onto my tablet. But when I tried writing them on paper first, my writing got a new lease of life. If you normally use paper first, try typing or dictating. If you’re usually a plotter try pantsing (writing by the seat of your pants). And vice versa. You get the idea.
Marketing, though essential, doesn’t help us write. So if your writing is suffering you may have to switch off for a while. Tell your social media platforms that you will be away for a week, then stick to it. Don’t worry about losing followers. Your true fans will happily stay around. Yes, some people might unfollow. But if they aren’t interested enough to give you a week’s grace then they aren’t interested enough to buy your book either. They’re no loss. So don’t worry about it.
