As a hybrid author, I’ve been where you are and as strange as it sounds here is what works for me. When my life is cluttered around me, things like home stuff, personal stuff…I do a big clean physically and mentally and that brings me back to the ‘brain free space’ I need to have to create. Writing takes a lot of brain energy and there is something about having that organized life that centers me and the book flows again. Love your paintings!

Hi Sarah. I'm sorry your Christmas book won't be coming out. It's definitely a hard feeling, but that doesn't mean the idea of the story is wasted or your efforts. Balancing and scheduling is definitely hard and I'm wishing you well as you figure out your next steps as you grow your author career. I too, felt that loss of not being able to see my work in front of me like my younger self. It was difficult to process and accept. I believe me trying different ways to dive back into writing helped. Doing a Pomodoro effect, writing with other authors/creatives that do a live on KZbin, taking a KZbin break so I can tap back into what my writing means to me and what I want to complete or work on, and going back a little to how I used to write when I was younger which was handwriting instead of typing. That's amazing that the journal was a plantser journal! It's a sign to keep going and find your path back to writing. Your want to embrace your creative enjoyments again is not something to be ignored. You got this as you tap back into your writing and get lost in characters and worlds you're creating. Your honesty doesn't go unnoticed and you're not alone!

It isn't failing to postpone a project and work on something else. You're flexible.

The universe knew you needed a positive boost and sent it your way. Congrats! Also, setting aside a project that just isn't working right now but with intentions to return to it later isn't failure. Even if it turns out you don't go back to it, I wouldn't call it failure. It just wasn't the right project for you. 💙

“I look at the book and I see darkness.” is such a vibe.

But seriously, I’m sorry writing is so hard for you right now. I’ve been where you are and I know how hard it is.

I've been going through something similar with writing where there's this disconnect between me and it and it just seems like any project I start I just keep stopping because I get stuck or I messed something up and I just feel like a failure for it. I couldnt tell you why 😆 its just been a bit of a battle - like I can't seem to unlock the creativity I used to have. Wish I could offer some help but honestly I'm struggling so bad. I hope you get out of the rut you're in tho!

Speaking of the eeriness of the timing of that Plantser Journal. I've been considering postponing my Christmas book because I was realizing I didn't have enough time. You literally said the things out loud that I've been thinking a while.

Lol don’t worry about not finishing the book or other peoples opinions and I have the opposite problem lol all I see is my books and I can never seem to write them down or just info and I feel like the book is over lol and also I love a good villain redemption watch this one show called u prince and in one of the books one of the villainess’s ends up being the main character in the next season! I was pretty surprised because she was your classic mean girl and was literally getting sued for plagiarism, and then she finds out that her whole family went bankrupt and now she’s poor and having to live with a friend as they lost her house and other money and all of her friends abandoned herand find out why she did all the things she did and how neglectful her parents were and she just wanted to get their attention and I really felt this and I was really happy to end up with a super cute lawyer, and her family was just pretending to be broke because she needed to get her shit together, lol
