Writing is hard work. A clear sentence is no accident. Very few sentences come out right the first time, or even the third time. Remember this in moments of despair. If you find that writing is hard, it’s because it is hard. It’s one of the hardest things that people do. —William Zinsser

Things that give writers and anxiety:
Writing
Not writing
Being asked how our writing is going
Accidentally talking to our characters in public and getting weird looks
Having our characters talk back to us
Realizing we didn’t hit safe before closing a word doc
Life in general

Michael Pacholek @michaelpacholek.bsky.social · 17d

The real tragedy of Haffigan is the tragedy of his wasted youth, his stunted mind, his drudging over his clods and pigs until he has become a clod and a pig himself, until the soul within him has smouldered into nothing but a dull temper that hurts himself and all around him.
-- George Bernard Shaw
