Enjoy the Holidays, But Not Too Much

I hope everyone has a happy holiday and bright New Year! While you may want to take a long break from your writing and job hunting, just don’t do it. The new year is about setting goals and reaching them, so if you want to double your income or find your first full- or part-time job, don’t take a break. Don’t misunderstand me, taking a day or two to enjoy your family and not answer the phone or check your email is fine, but refrain from swearing off writing for weeks. When you take long breaks away from your work, it can curve your motivation. You can have a new beginning soon so take advantage of the clean slate.
