Do you ever get tired of writing?

I am! I have just written nine articles in two days! I have suddenly gotten a ton of work all at the same time, and it has to be done by Thursday. Well, Monday I have something to do that is probably going to take up my whole day, and Thursday I leave for a conference, so I won't get any writing done that day, so I really have to get it all done by Wednesday night. So I have been writing like crazy. I have eleven more articles to go. And I am tired of writing! I keep taking little breaks. I think I'm going to go take a break and wash the dishes. Imagine, washing dishes for a break!

Not tired, per se...burnt out. It's like my brain gets hollowed out and I'm devoid of inspiration AND the ability to write...and to try is futile and painful lol.
My problem is, I tend to write and write until I get to that point...and afterwards I need to take a couple weeks' worth of reprieve to return to my usual self, lmao.

I hate doing dishes- when I find myself thinking that I really should get the dishes done instead of writing, I realize that I need to take a break from writing. Good luck with getting your articles done on time - those big jobs are nice to get, but they can put a lot of stress on you! I have three I have to finish today - and then a 50,000 word e-book to do in the next two weeks.

hi there...writing for me is not a fulltime job..hehehe.... it's a side line or a second one that is not regular so i dont feel that overwhelmed. especially if i am using a keyboard or a computer to do so... pen writing is tedious...

I never feel that I can feel tired of writing. I like writing and since I was younger I told my mom that I want to be a writer. But she kept telling me that I cannot earn money from writing. Now I can show her that writing is really appreciated here in the internet and she wondered what I did. I always love writing and that is why I thought I would never feel bored writing on stuffs. But I can't deal writing with same topics every day, I am moving from one topics to another so that I am always refreshed by writing stuffs

I haven't really experienced this, as I do not write professionally. I wish I did, but yes, I can see getting burnt out a little, in your situation. Good luck!
