I am going to take a deep breath and just remind you:

Writing is messy, even for the best authors. It’s supposed to feel a little uncomfortable, exhilarating, freeing, natural, and terrifying.

It’s supposed to inspire you and feel like a too-heavy backpack.

Sometimes, you’re going to love being a writer and sometimes, you’ll feel so disconnected, you’ll wonder if you were ever a writer to begin with.

Give yourself room to make mistakes and hate your work and return to it with renewed confidence that yes, you will get 1% better next time.

It’s what we’re all going through. Let’s speed up the growing process a little by accepting the entirety of it.
