How do you measure your progress other than just finishing the pursuit of the 50,000 word goal. If simply finishing is your goal, then yeah, have a beer. Once you fess up to that unspoken goal, everything changes. Because your publishing dream (again, very much like being a parent) is a serious and worthy goal.

Doing less will make you happier, because your life won’t be so hectic and filled with stress. You will become more productive, procrastinate less, be less stressed. Do not make this an unhealthy obsession, however — lose weight gradually, and enjoy the process. Simplifying your finances greatly reduces your stress.

Often, you’ll discover that there is some critical part of the writing process that isn’t quite working for your clients. Turning rejection into education can help you from getting stressed out and giving up. Whenever something you wrote gets rejected by a client or by a blog-owner, ask why. For me, I jumped subjects way too often.
