your replies will not be perfect, and that's okay. you don't need to use ten thousand words from the thesaurus. you don't have to be shakespeare. you don't have to put pressure on yourself to put out a perfect, novella-length reply every time you sit down at your computer. this is a hobby you do for fun, not a classroom where your words are being graded at every turn - be gentle with yourself. you are doing your best. applaud yourself for your own passion and creativity. applaud yourself for trying. applaud yourself for every one liner you do, every small paragraph. applaud yourself on the days you only get one thing done - you wrote something beautiful. you did something fun. really try to love this hobby again. no one cares about word count. no one cares about the thesaurus. people follow your blog because they want to write with you. don't forget that.
