Whaddya mean nothing’s working
Oh, hi friends!
What do you do when things that worked before suddenly stop working?
Quit.
Pivot.
Move.
Scream.
Try again.
Be patient.
Break something.
Reevaluate.
Meditate.
Search.
Walk.
Run.
Nap.
Doesn’t matter as long as you do something.
Do anything.
Act.
“Also, who’s to tell you how to write anything? It’s like that wonderful thing Virginia Woolf said. She was just writing one day and she said, ‘I can write anything.’ And you really can. It’s such a remarkable thing to remind yourself of. If you’re listening to any other voice than your own, then you’re doing it wrong. And don’t.
