So many helpful suggestions! As a rather frustrated writer, I do and have done just about all of the things you have suggested not to do. And you are so right about what to do and what NOT to do.

I really needed this. after finishing my manuscript in October I haven’t really written anything and keep doubting myself. I have ideas but I can’t seem to be able to put them on the page and I’m so frustrated at the moment... I miss writing and it being fun! this post was somewhat soothing for my broken writer heart, so thank you! 💞

Allow yourself time! This year is quite a non-writing year for me. Usually post manuscript completion, I need a bit of time to feel like it again!

This is such a helpful reminder! I know I’ve heard you say bits of pieces of this before but it’s great to have it all in one place. I’m building up to writing something longer, but I’m trying hard not to force myself into productivity. It’s not my job, so I get that luxury. A combination of writing regularly and not turning it into a chore.

I found an app called The Most Dangerous Writing App recently which is fun! It deletes your progress if you pause for too long 😬

I was thinking that... I know I've doted this info about, especially on Instagram stories but having it in an article where it's permanent, I thought was handier! I could not use that app at all hahahah
