AUTHOR’S NOTE:

When I shared my story about depression and writer’s burnout, I received many emails, comments, and Facebook messages from other writers thanking me for my bravery and telling me about their own trials. That really put into perspective for me how many people suffer from depression and/or burnout in silence. I had no idea those individuals were impacted by these things, just as they hadn’t known that I was, because my outward presence to others was always happy and smiley and bright.

After the supportive response and upon realizing how many writers in my online circles were struggling, too, I wanted to do something to help. I was candid with my experiences and blogged about the things that assisted me through the rough times in the hope that it would aid others.

During this time, I recognized the need for writers to receive support, guidance, tips, reminders, and encouragement during their writer’s block, depression, and burnout. That’s how I got the idea for this book. A book not just about depression or only about writer’s block, but both, and much more.

Since you have picked up this book, that means you may need assistance with one or all of these areas, and I sincerely hope you find what you need here…that tiny spark to get you through whatever you are going through.

As always, keep writing.
Keep believing.
Keep dreaming.
Chrys Fey

  1. Sorry to hear what happened. Since I’m computer stupid, I would’ve been a basket case. When I’m have problems, not only with writing, I like to walk too, or clean. I scrub the floors the bathroom and so on.

    A huge Congrats to Chrys Fey!!

  2. Your experience with hacking after you moved away from Blogger is scary enough that it’s probably going to slow my transition to WordPress even more than it already has been The last thing I need to deal with is a broken website. Glad you solved your problem with it.

    • Supposedly the upside to WP is that it’s more mobile compatible than Blogger. However, it definitely isn’t more compatible with moi! Now that I’m in for a penny, unfortunately, I’m in for a pound or several hundred dollars!

  3. Long walks are definitely helpful. I must admit I haven’t walked much since the pandemic hit. I’m surrounded by narrow sidewalks, bridges, and traffic-heavy streets, so it hasn’t felt safe. (No where to get distance if someone wants to pass you.)

    But anything “mindless” that lets the mind wander can have a similar effect–gardening, having a bubble bath, cleaning, etc. Pressuring myself to come up with the perfect idea right NOW is the one thing that never works.

    Congratulations to Chrys, and I hope you’re having a great summer, Lee.

    • Mindless. Yes. I love tasks that require muscle memory and not much else. I washed and waxed my car this week. A perfect get away, and the car looks spectacular. Glad you’re well and forging ahead.

  5. What horror to find your blog suspended! Too bad wordpress has been a pain. It was a tough transition for me from blogger but I have liked it better so far. Hope that doesn’t happen again to you (or to me).

    • This thing is still wonky. I’m getting comments for different posts than they’re intended. Seriously? Thanks for stopping by. I love to hear from other writers.

  7. Wonderful to see Chrys all over the blogosphere. This sounds like a great book- and one I could really use at this time. The last few months have been tough creatively. Thanks for sharing!

  9. Hi Lee – I’ve seen lots of Chrys on her blog tour – which is great. She definitely inspires … and obviously helps others with their thought processes through difficult aspects of living. Good luck to Chrys … all the best – Hilary

  11. Congratulations, Chrys. As a reader, I sometimes forget that writers get burned out and can’t get motivated. Your book sounds like it is a great tool to overcome that and more.

  15. Huge congratulations and thanks to Chrys.
    I suspect that artists from a range of genres know the feeling – and would be very, very glad of the support.

  17. Thank you so much for participating in my blog tour, Lee! I really appreciate the support you’ve given me throughout the years. <3
