Comment on 5 Stress-Free Ways To Continue Writing Even When You’re Sick by Luana Spinetti @ Writer's Mind

I’m with you, Samar! A heavy head is just another thing. I write after a nap because I usually feel better, but not when my mind drifts off on its own.

Sometimes I can’t write when I have a blocked nose, because it blurs my sight, too. Terrible.

I tend to shut down when I’m sick. I take my meds, get in bed and alternate between sleeping, reading and drinking soup

A blocked nose and cough I can work with but not a heavy head.

I write because I need to do things to feel ‘alive’. Being sick is depressing. But I don’t overdo it, because recovery is my top priority.

Naps are a blessing!

I don’t try to write when I’m really sick… I go to bed and get well. If I’m only a little sick I’ll write, nap, write, nap… like that.

Keys! Doors! — What a beautiful, (currently) impossible dream!

We all need a quiet work area to get our neurons to work at full speed. Working from home is wonderful but when you have kids or noisy siblings and parents AND you share a room with a younger sister… it becomes impossible. My desk is in the middle of the living room and working there is only good early in the morning and after 9:30PM.

I’m glad you appreciated the article, Ruth. Thank you!

I love drawing cartoons for Creative Writing Institute! It’s for a good cause and it keeps me active as an artist. Drawing art takes me more time than writing, but I love both in equal measure. There’s the magic word: LOVE.

I’m sorry to hear you can’t count on a private work area either, Deb. The more work we have to get done, the more urgent the installment of a home office becomes. However, there is no way (or room) to get one until I live with my parents, so we’re pretty much on the same boat. I hope to see this dream come true when I get married— Simone is more than willing to get both of us a quiet working area in our future home.

I hear ya! After a year of working from home (which was great because it gave me easy access to my 5 children…and was awful since it gave me so much easy access to my 5 children) I finally rented an office. Got the keys today! Woohoo!

That said, your suggestions are all solid.

I love your cartoons! Wish I were so talented, but I’ll take what I have and (try to) be satisfied. What a blessing it is to have you draw cartoons for Creative Writing Institute. Thanks so much. Loved this article, too, and it’s so true. I don’t have a private work area and it is such a hindrance. In my case, it’s impossible, but I certainly recommend it for everyone who can arrange it. Happy day! Deb
