Thought this might help others who struggle when writing. I know I get in my head too much.
#and I think because you are developing like 19 different skills simultaneously#but the ones that you're better at feel smooth and easy and therefore not noticeable#but the places where the pen drags metaphorically feel more significant#so it's like oof ouch the struggle (doesn't notice the 100 hundred things that would be very hard without practice & experience & skill)

[Text ID: I don't know who needs to hear this, but writing is hard because you care about it and you want it to be good, not because you're bad at it. /end ID]
a) i needed to hear this today
b) I would like to add that if you are feeling down about your writing, take a look around at what is going on in the rest of your life. Our brains are not computers. We are subject to stress and emotion and getting busy with important (and not so important) tasks. Sometimes, your brain really does run out of space for something like this. Writing is *work* and work requires resources.
