5 minutes into a writing sprint…IYKYK. Yesterday I sent the timer for a 30 minute writing sprint and spent the first 20 minutes fixing the ball hitch on my office door.

If you haven’t watched this show, I can’t recommend it enough. I was on a weekend writing retreat with a friend when she suggested (forced) we watch the show…while she watched me enjoy it for the first time…and it’s a decision I’ll never regret (or forget).

My daughter & her friend “googled” me during class today and found my writer Instagram with all the reels I’ve been making lately. She told her friend “this is my mom’s new era” and I’m not sure who is more traumatized.
Me. It’s me.

Trying to muster up the courage to touch my laptop after weeks of ignoring it. How did I do?? I feel like this was a good first try. I’ll try again…next week 😬 Have you ever taken a break from something and then been scared to start again?
