My thoughts this morning “don’t by a new journal. Just write in google docs, which is better for you anyways. Do not buy new journals. Or new pens. Or more post-it notes. Or new highlighters. Just write the damn thing.”

I’ve been working on my WIP pretty consistently, but I want to also write some flash fiction/short stories.
I also have ADHD and can’t just fucking chill.

Wrote my first flash fiction piece. Oh my gosh I’m writing again 🥺🥰
I haven’t really written anything since my early twenties. (I am 30) I thought I had lost it.
Welcome back, old friend.

I have found that my first draft works best as a writing dump where I plan out chapters and scenes
It took a long time to be okay with this - now I have 17,000 words and the urge to actually write 🥰
