I so rarely follow my own writing advice, too! What worked for me for years when I felt more green is now something that I boredly gesture at and don't follow through on. In my case, I think it's easy to get jaded and rushed and to fall into a rut. Seeing writing as a new pursuit and treating it the way I did when it was fresh and scary and new is probably a good idea... that seems like a very spiral time friendly idea. Circling back to the mindset and approach I used to have before this became "work."

I’m glad I read this. Thank you.
