Today I'm welcoming Chris Fey to share her new book:
Catch the sparks you need to conquer writer’s
block, depression, and burnout!
When Chrys Fey shared her story about depression
and burnout, it struck a chord with other writers. That put into perspective
for her how desperate writers are to hear they aren’t alone. Many creative
types experience these challenges, battling to recover. Let Keep Writing with
Fey: Sparks to Defeat Writer's Block, Depression, and Burnout guide you
through:
· Writer's block
· Depression
· Writer's burnout
· What a writer doesn’t need to succeed
· Finding creativity boosts
With these sparks, you can begin your journey of
rediscovering your creativity and get back to what you love - writing.

AUTHOR’S NOTE:
When I shared my story
about depression and writer’s burnout, I received many emails, comments, and
Facebook messages from other writers thanking me for my bravery and telling me
about their own trials. That really put into perspective for me how many people
suffer from depression and/or burnout in silence. I had no idea those
individuals were impacted by these things, just as they hadn’t known that I
was, because my outward presence to others was always happy and smiley and
bright.
After the supportive
response and upon realizing how many writers in my online circles were
struggling, too, I wanted to do something to help. I was candid with my
experiences and blogged about the things that assisted me through the rough
times in the hope that it would aid others.
During this time, I
recognized the need for writers to receive support, guidance, tips, reminders,
and encouragement during their writer’s block, depression, and burnout. That’s
how I got the idea for this book. A book not just about depression or only about
writer’s block, but both, and much more.
Since you have picked up
this book, that means you may need assistance with one or all of these areas,
and I sincerely hope you find what you need here…that tiny spark to get you
through whatever you are going through.
As always, keep writing.
Keep believing.
Keep dreaming.

Thank you Chris, for making it super easy to post this (it took about ten minutes...maybe) and for thinking of other people. I know I've gone through times where I felt burnt out from trying to write when it just wasn't in me and times when everything completely sucked. We like to put on our happy faces here and keep our sadness and worry hidden but that isn't always helpful. Sometimes sharing is the best way to connect with others and connecting with others is what keeps us human. We all need each other to get through this life.
We've all felt that burnout. Big congratulations to Chrys!
ReplyDeleteActually, I've had many people say they've never been burned out before, but it is a possibility that could happen to everyone. That's why it's so important to understand what it is, what can cause it, etc.
DeleteThanks, Alex!
Congratulations to Chrys! I am going to read this--but my tbr pile is deep.

ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting, Debra!
DeleteWhat a perfect time to share. Thank you. So many artists are struggling right now. I'm blessed to at least have gardening while my muse is on hiatus. :)
ReplyDeleteGardening is a beautiful practice and creative outlet to help during those tough times. Thanks for commenting, Darla!

DeleteBurnout can be so rough. It's so helpful to hear from someone who's been through it and came out on the other side.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Chrys!
Thank you so much, M.J.!
DeleteBurnout and depression are so hard to live with. Thanks for the advice on how to deal with them. Congrats on your book, Chrys!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Natali!
DeleteI loved that Chrys was able to turn burnout and depression to positive use. 'Take that you sucky beasts'
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
Delete'Take that you sucky beasts' <--- LOL!
Congrats to Chrys. Burnout is hard, and probably more likely during these times.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Liz! Yes, it is far more likely now than ever before.
DeleteFey is all over the blogosphere this week, congrats to her on her new book!

DeleteIt's great to see Chrys making the rounds. Tough career, writing.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Writing can be tough. But also enjoyable. We have to get back to that joy a lot of the time.
DeleteThank you so much for having me on your blog, Marcy! I am so sorry for being late. I was super busy yesterday and completely forgot. I appreciate your support. <3
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to Chrys for much success with her latest book. It sounds like something that could potentially help a lot of other writers.
