Thank you for the advice! So true about setting artificial deadlines for yourself. We should aim to write when we're inspired and have something of value to share.

Much appreciated post!

"Realise that nobody cares about you"

It's a horrible truth when you think about it for too long. So best to think about it short and perceive its liberating value.

Thanks for the reminder!
