How to Bring Back Your Enthusiasm for Writing
Remember the joy.
Six months ago, I stopped writing.
I couldn’t get myself moving again. I would open up my computer and avoid writing for hours on end. Days turned into weeks.
I just didn’t like it anymore. Fifteen years into this gig, I didn’t want to do it any more.
But (based on the fact this article is back and I’m struggling to find time to writing on Medium because of client demands), you can see I’m back at it.
How did I get there?
If you’re struggling to get back into writing after a period of burnout, don’t worry — you’re not alone. It can be tough to muster up the energy and enthusiasm to write when you’re feeling drained, but there are some things you can do to get yourself back on track.
Here are a few tips to help you get started writing again after a burnout:

Or was it because you felt like you had nothing new or interesting to say? Once you identify the root cause of your writing burnout, you can start to address it.
