Writing isn’t just drafting.
It’s thinking, resting, rereading one paragraph five times, and stopping before burnout wins.
If today’s win is showing up at all, I’m counting it.

This is a gentle week over here.
I’m still writing. Still showing up. Just doing it in smaller, kinder ways.
If you’re easing into your work instead of sprinting—hi, you’re not alone.
Slow progress is still progress. Full stop.
