feeling guilty over not working on your fic is so silly if you think about like why are you stressing over the hobby you do in your free time for fun lol wip not whip
I like to reframe this for myself if this advice doesn't immediately work to make me feel better (It is good advice, this is my hobby not my jobby).
But here's my second line of mental defence: I'm not NOT working on it. I'm letting it rest, like dough. It must rise in my subconscious. It's still there, doing its thing. I'm just not prodding it with my hot fingers. Let it rest. Let it rise. Its time will come.
