For anyone else who needs to hear this as much as I did, I just read, “You can’t slow the pace of time. But you can slow down. Take a breath. Take your time.”

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 132678:
You don't need to write every day: you just need to keep your imagination alight. Feed it with books, with art, with films and theatre. That way it will always be ready when you need it.

My worst fear is becoming famous in the first place. I've never understood the appeal, even as a child I didn't get it or dream of it.
Oh the fear being known.
If there was some way to...earn enough money to live off my creative writing while still maintaining a private quiet life, I'd take it.

What's your worst fear if you ever become a famous author?
Mine: It's a toss between theory crafters reading between lines that aren't there and getting roasted for an errant typo.

If you’re stuck, try writing the worst version on purpose. Bad drafts are very easy to fix. Perfect imaginary ones are not.

If it helps, remember: Last year's writing progress counts towards this year's writing progress!
-Or you can think of this year as a clean new slate if that helps more.
Whatever helps encourage you on your writing journey the most :3

Relaxation tips:
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath.
Let your brain go quiet.
Let your atoms float away on the soft evening breeze and become one with a sinister fog that creeps forever across the misty moors.

Writing is mostly:
🔹 opening a document
🔹 sighing
🔹typing one sentence
🔹thinking it’s terrible
🔹typing another anyway
Shockingly effective.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 23:
We're all on a learning curve. Every writer, at whatever stage of their career - is on a learning curve. The minute you forget that - either to shit on a less experienced writer, or to refuse to be edited, or to ignore criticism - is the moment you start to suck.

So, a bit of an announcement: I have now been officially diagnosed with ADHD. It's been a long journey to get here, but I am relieved.
My hopes for the future, is that this will lead to more accessibility and assistance where I need it.

The only New Year's resolution that matters is you resolving to finally shamble off into the old forest and become the moss draped horror you were always meant to be.
