RE: Don't be a Writing Zero, Be a Steemit HERO!
Writing takes a huge amount of brain power - and it's not something that can always be brute forced, because we need experience and creativity and focus to converge to a point. Taking a break helps because it activates something called the default mode network, which is only active when you AREN'T focused on a problem, but is also incredibly beneficial to memory work and creativity. I used to feel so guilty for taking breaks, but taking a break or a shower isn't giving up - it may actually be a crucial part of the entire process.
Because even when you're not writing, you're still doing writing work.
Very true. Try not to allow yourself to feel guilty- its self sabotage ! As you said, even when not writing you are still, always, doing writing work.
