Girl, considering how much you write on the weekends, you could skip writing during the week altogether and you'd still be making solid progress every week. Also, you write so you're a writer <3 that's the only requirement for the title

Yes to all of this! I’m always glad when I take breaks because even when I don’t want to, my writing is always better after I rest and can come back to the work with fresh eyes anyway. After 3 months of not looking at it I’ve been amazed at the things I’m noticing in my book. I’m sure you’ll be feeling so inspired when you get back it especially after the writers festival :)
