Stop Working and Start Playing

I’ve been realizing more and more how absent “play” has been from my life. Whether I’m feeling like it or not, I force myself to work, and because writing IS my work, when I’m feeling creative, I still work, because that seems to be the most pressing thing in front of me—and no matter how much I work, there’s always more—more deadlines, new clients, emails … Continue reading Stop Working and Start Playing
