Christina, you've given me something to think about, since I never thought I'd be dealing with this issue. Your retreat sounds very interesting.

In reply to Laura Drake. YES to the friends part. I'm a social being so it's usually friends that turn the tide for me. :-)

In reply to jamesr403. James - I'm honored that I was allowed to be your Burn Out Alert! Kerry Schafer and Julie Glover were mine a few weeks ago, and I'm incredibly thankful that I could pay that forward to you. Enjoy your self-care rituals and your SF book! I'm off to read a historical :).

Christina, you know those Life Alert things older folks wear around their necks? If you fall, crash & burn, you push the button and somebody shows up to scrape you off the floor? Your post was like that for me. I don't think I was even aware how burned out I was until I reread the opening to my WIP and hated it, something I never do -- that is the hating not the rereading. This morning I wrote a new opening. And now I'm going to have a cup of coffee and lose myself in and old Andre Norton (actually Alice May Norton) sf novel. Thanks!

In reply to Nan Lundeen. Oh, Nan. So much truth here. Sitting outside, listening to the wind blow through the trees, my wind chime singing in the breeze - it does wonders for replenishing me.
