Do you use holidays to give yourself a break from writing?

Sometimes Yes, I do give myself this short holiday from writing, well I am someone who believes that no matter what I am doing I should be finding time for myself to relax without the tension to do the routine stuffs but then I happen to take my pen and paper sometimes when I am still in holidays, So how much I can try to escape this I sometimes find myself with the pen and the paper.

I pretty much write 365 days a year regardless of what holiday it is, though I might not write quite as much. Being addicted to the computer anyway, it's hard for me to take a vacation from it and work...though I've had to take a mild hiatus with my carpal tunnel and strained wrist problem which I still have and which is driving me batty...LOL

I work a 40 hour week that leaves me mentally and physically exhausted so don't get to do much writing during the week. Weekends and holidays such as today I try to do as much writing as I can... Only got one article finished today but feel good about it and have lots more ideas.

Good question! I think it is important to put family and friends first, if it is a choice between spending time with someone or in writing alone. I do prefer to stay in or near to my home rather than to travel or visit on a public holiday, because I can do that on a day when places are less crowded and easier to get to. Writing is a compulsion with me and it's a habit I cannot break. I never have a day when I don't write something, even if it's only a few myLot responses. Over a long weekend I will carry on with my usual activities, rather than stop altogether.

Holidays from work provide me with more time to do the things I would rather be doing if I didn't have to work and of course one of those things is writing. That is, when I don' end up having a ton of other things to do.

I tend to be more on go-getter style. Usually i do myLotting on my office, so when it is time to week end or holiday, my activity on myLot reduced. Not stopping but just reduced, i still write some discussion using my phone. It is not very convenient way, but I just can't hold to keep writing. I can't make my head stop thinking about writing

I tend to try to get more done online when I have a holiday. That is if I have a day off from my day job. I wish I had more places to sell writing.

I try to write a little more around the holidays, because there are certain seasonal topics that are of interest those times of year so there's the chance to make more money. I do most of my writing for Xomba.com but also have my own blogs and a couple of other writing sites. Also I find that during the holidays there's always downtime at airports, bus stations, etc., so that's time I can use to write rather than just sitting around.

Actually, I tend to try to use the holidays as an excuse to write more. I have a hard enough time finding time to write during regular life, so sometimes holidays find a decent opportunity for that sort of thing. It's always a struggle, whether I have plenty of time or not. ^_^' But I rarely turn down this mythical thing called "free time".

I feel very happy and creative when I am traveling so I always take my note book to write ideas in for my writing. I find great description comes to me easily when I am in a picturesque location and I can feel the warm sun on my back. I love to have adventure when I am on holiday and generally have this in the day time. Typically I come back to my accommodation in the evening before dark. Then I do some writing remembering the lovely day that I have had. A holiday for me is about exploration and writing more than it is about relaxation.

If I am at home, every day is the same for me - a writing day. Unless I have my granddaughter to stay. Then she and the house take up all my energy and it's all I can do the keep up with my blog. When I take a break away from home, I don't write articles or stories, but I often make notes for when I can get back to it.

I write, if a good mood. So do not depend on public holidays or days normally. If the mood to play good music, I will be playing music with friends, or play alone in my home. I always follow the mood that I still enjoy.

writing is very good .it can improve our own abilities in different aspects.however,if you do not want this ,you will lose the meaning of life.

i don't accept new writing projects on holidays because just like other parents, i would like to spend some quality time with my kid. we just go to the mall or the zoo or wherever she likes. can't do that on ordinary days because i have a deadline to beat.
