Hello friends and welcome to another whirlwind week of writing.
I come to you this Monday, my friends, completely disconnected from writing. After struggling with some mood related writer’s block late last week, the weekend arrived and with it a tempest of personal events. I won’t go into the details, save to say everything is all good, but writing was definitely the furthest thing from my mind.
As with most Mondays, however, I am doing my best to get back on track. As of this writing around noon, that endeavor hasn’t been going spectacularly. I just keep thinking about the things from the weekend.
It’s been a good reminder that even if I were to get my mental health squared away, it’s just not going to be possible to account for everything that may pull me away from my writing. But also, I don’t need to feel guilty about that. The things that happened this weekend were definitely more deserving of my attention than my WIP, and it doesn’t make me a bad writer to say so.
Of course, I need to climb back on the wagon and that’s never a simple feat. But nor does it have to be tortured. Life gets in the way sometimes. And that’s okay.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some words to attend to.
Until next time, friends, may your writing be plenty and your struggles be few.
