I am absolutely not at peace with this yet. Why is it so hard to give myself permission to have fun BEFORE I write when I know it helps every time??

I love this, in so many ways. I especially love how it starts, with that photo of the sky, and "this is writing too." Settled me right in for a wonderful read. Thank you.

So needed to hear this as am just coming off, literally this Saturday, a major writers block slowly giving myself permission to get there.🙌

I just wrote about my continuing obstacles to writing more in a piece called “Personality Crisis.” I really do think it’s metabolic for me. I’m in a go phase now and excited about sitting down to write. But next week the dam may be raised. I just don’t know.

Thank you for this! After having a huge burst of creative energy and revising a third of my novel in one fell swoop, I’m now (predictably) stalling out. Trying to tell myself it’s just time for a rest, but it is so hard to leave behind that joyous phase of productivity and trust that it will come again when the time is right.
