get in loser, we’re being isekai’d

Her book had another great lesson/section that really stayed with me (which i will paraphrase here because i read it a long time ago, but the essence is the same). It went something like:

"You decide to write. So you sit down at your desk and you get out some paper, a pencil and pen, turn on your computer. Then you stare off into space for 20 minutes. You type a sentence and delete it. You pick up your pen to outline, but you wind up doodling. You decide a cup of tea will help.

Back at your desk, you take a sip of tea and start writing. After a paragraph, you stop to think. Your mind wanders. You notice an ache, and wonder if you have a life threatening condition. You stare out the window. You read the paragraph you have written. You re-write the paragraph. You read it again. You delete the paragraph. Your tea is cold, so you get up and re-heat it.

At your desk again, you start over, but stop after a couple minutes. It has been three hours. You have written one sentence.

Your friend calls you. You answer and tell them you cannot talk because you are busy. They ask what you are doing and you reply "writing".

Because you are. This is part of the process, and you have spent three hours doing it. The pages that will come later would not happen without this. You have spent your morning writing."
