When on the Verge of a Writer Freak-out, Try the 3 B’s

Writers freak out. It’s just a fact. Find an author in any stage of the publication game–the agent search, submission, revision, book launch–and I’ll bet you that, if she’s not in the middle of a freak-out, there’s one just around the corner.

When Overwhelmed Author Syndrome rears it’s ugly head, I recommend the 3 B’s.

Breathe.

Booze.

Books.

And, by books, I mean put down your own book and read someone else’s. It’ll remind you why you got into this business in the first place.
