Feeling Overwhelmed?
My last newsletter was about going on vacation, as I was about to take a week off work. It was a great stay-cation, but I felt like I had to work twice as hard to catch up when I went back to work! 
I think a lot of us are going through a lot this year with the unexpected pandemic. A lot of us have had to change our work schedules, are working from home more often, or perhaps have kids at home when they'd normally be in school. It can be a lot to deal with, and I've definitely felt a little overwhelmed at times.
Writing.Com can be a great relaxation site, but maybe obligations can also start to feel overwhelming, too? It's important to take stock and make a plan for moving forward.
It's important to re-assess things every so often to see if changes need to be made. Maybe take a day or two (or a week or two) break from an activity you host or a contest you've committed to previously? In any case, it's good to let members know what's going on, particularly if they have expectations from you, like announcing winners or taking part in an activity.
Most members are understanding when it comes to "real life" interfering with online responsibilities. It's better to explain and be honest than to ignore the issue and disappear, though that happen sometimes, too. In most cases, members can be very forgiving, particularly when the person who had to temporarily disappear apologizes and tries to make amends.
For me personally, I've had to cut back on online obligations (as much as it pains me to do so) due to an increase in work.
Writing.Com feels like a virtual home for many of its members, and it provides as much interaction and activity as you can handle! You can sign up for many, many challenges, or you can take part in quick activities! Whether you're looking to hone your writing style into a career or just looking for some fun, WDC offers a huge variety!
As always, keep on writing!
