·        Writer's block

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.
Chrys Fey

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.

    1. Actually, 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.

      Thanks, Alex!
