literary work
I think what matters most in literary work is the context, not the text.
art creating days lose power rhythm stop
As a writer, I can't really take days off. Writing is like creating an art. Once you stop writing, you can lose your rhythm and context, meaning that your writing may lose its power.
study work
I am a working person. I always work, study or do research for my novel. I even work on Sunday.
