Normally I do not, but this time I am. For some reason, I feel more overwhelmed with writing these days. I think that I feel that this book I am writing, it means so much to me that I pour my all into it, like I would do for any of my books. But I think that the techno killer\u2019s book I have a different sense with it, I want it to be interesting and good, that people would want to read it. My need for perfection is causing me to feel overwhelmed with it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not that I am not inspired and have the storyline in my head, but I want so much not to disappoint I tend to second guess myself. Does this ever happen to you? Sometimes taking so time off from writing is what is needed, I think. I have started the techno killer\u2019s book. I do believe I need to put it aside and come back to it in a week or two. Even us writers need to take a break sometimes. So, I will be taking a short vacation. I will not stop writing my blogs, I will still be doing that for all those who read them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may make finishing the book take a bit longer, but the end results are what matters. There I will take a break, rejuvenate, and come back with a fresh mind and more ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/xavier-black.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/pocket-watch-3156771_640.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"293\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/xavier-black.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/pocket-watch-3156771_640.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/xavier-black.com\/?attachment_id=293\" class=\"wp-image-293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xavier-black.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/pocket-watch-3156771_640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/xavier-black.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/pocket-watch-3156771_640-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xavier-black.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/pocket-watch-3156771_640-210x140.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever felt overwhelmed when writing?
