What a wonderful piece. You are super brave and courageous to write about what's going on inside yourself. It's super relatable and such a good read. I honestly put aside my "real" book I was just reading to finish this piece 🤩
So in my collection (that sounds far more professional than drafts, partial drafts and such, correct?) of works (also more professional than incomplete or unpublished because it was the wrong time) of thousands (I know, it's possible that it may be a problem, but I have yet to find a support group) in various folders on my computer, I'll stumble upon a piece that I wrote a year or two ago that would've worked perfectly for a particular holiday, season, or whatever, but now yet another year has also passed, so woops; it'll have to wait again! It would be lovely if there were a publication for "All the Days and Holidays other than the one that's about to Happen," but it probably wouldn't have a huge audience; I would read it, though. I'd read it while sitting under a big shade tree, and I'd yell at squirrels for throwing their nut shells down on me.
And now for some reason, I'm hungry for waffles. You've given me so many wonderful ideas. Thank you for the inspiration. I'm going to need to make a new drafts folder...
Thank you for writing this. As a newer writer who is on the precipice of wanting to develop a habit, you write about many of the same things that my inner critic is screaming. These screams have been deafening thus far. Glad to know I am not alone, and that there is a light to follow.
You've written about my similar process. 😁 Thank you for putting your authentic thoughts out here for us all to witness and learn from. In my notebooks, I leave space in the left margin for notes. I would likely be astonished to flip back through them and count how many times I have written, "SubStack" in the margin to indicate I had a potential idea to write and post. Yet didn't. No doubt a distraction came flying by, sending me whirling off to the next task. Thank you for writing and posting. I look forward to reading more of your work.
This is so relatable. How many half-posts are in my notebooks, never finished because the moment passed? Too many. Reading your process here makes me feel like I’m in good company. Like my inner battles to let words out of my head and onto the page and then… off the page into the world where they can be read are not uncommon. I’m also intrigued now and eager to see what comes next, since you care write about things that also matter to me. Thank you for this, for so many reasons.
