@BendtedWreath i couldn't agree more with Krista and what @Inkognito said earlier. Life throws some not-nice-stuff sometimes, mine was COVID, it completely did me in, with respect to writing. I couldn't write a word for several years. Instead, I started a new career knitting and crocheting to keep my mind and hands busy during lockdown, which messed with me in a negative way.
I have sweaters and blankets piling up here now. LOL Now I craft and I write. Not at the same time.
The point to all of this, is that you need to find what works for you. You have tons of suggestions to sift through and try.
Now I write when I feel like it. Writing is an important outlet, it's something i've done all my life. I enjoy it. And for me, that's all that matters.
I'll duck out of this thread now. Best of luck to you. Just do what you feel and enjoy doing!
