Oh i feel this in the depths of my soul! I have been tormenting myself the last few months about how I KNOW what I need to do in order to move my writing life forward..... but actually doing it? That's a whole other concept.

I have been working my way through my thoughts by (can you believe this) sitting at my desk and witting it, trying to work it out, to see what I can uncover to find the root of the problem.

Essentially talking to myself.

And guess what? It's working!

Who knew {laughs maniacally}

Who knew indeed!

I really struggled in 2022, but I'm also realising that maybe this is a season for healing for me. It doesn't mean I won't write, but I'm removing the pressure. Trying to have "creative dates" rather than worrying about word counts (or lack of).

And the weird thing is that I find this kind of writing easier than fiction. It pours out, whereas in fiction, I have to tease it out one word at a time.

We'll get through this, Jacie!
