This hits so close to home💗 my writing burnout was in college when I was forced to write things that I didn’t find joy in. And then just recently after I finished my first novel and felt the pressure to start the next. I got through the editing and publishing but didn’t find the drive to start the second book. I haven’t written consistently in years - but a new idea has got me back into it. It may go no where but it’s getting me to write again and it’s bringing me sparks of joy in a hobby I thought I had maybe grown out of. But I just needed some time and to not be so hard on myself. And I agree, writing - even just a little - every day keeps the momentum. Thank you for your perspective 💗
