Great post –

I must admit I rarely take a true day away from the computer. On occasion, though, when I’ve been out of town, I have spent several days away and you’re right – all the things that once seemed so immediate and urgent somehow managed to survive without my attention.

Thanks for the reminder about life’s proper perspective,

I would have to prepare days in advance for it, haha. However, I know taking a break from it all - even if not from writing altogether - is important. Hmm. If I do this, I'll post about it.

It doesn't take long for me to be refreshed, but when I do take the break I believe my work improves vastly too.

But when I am working on a writing project it does pay to walk away occasionally which will do wonders for mental clarity.
