i can gradually feel my writing mojo come back and it's all been thanks to just... writing stuff without feeling pressured to post it?
like i always wrote for myself first because somebody's GOTTA get these words out of my brain (or they'll torment me on a minutely basis), but for a couple years there i felt like the only things that i write that would have "worth" were for other people
and like there's nothing wrong with that either!!! but maaannn did i get burnt out hardcore halfway through '23 (and all of '24 haah) on that mindset
idk how much longer it'll take for me to feel like i can continue the stuff i have published (absolution, cross the breeze, that fucking jojo wrestling au that still haunts me, etc) but i think i'm on the right track :>
