Kind of crazy that I can just sit down at my desk with a pot of tea, tell my brain to think of a story, agonize for 30 mins while I look over everything I've ever written, check social media, decide to work on something else, agonize some more, and then a story miraculously appears in my brain. 🤷

I think you should get weirder and freakier about their writing next year. Expel the thoughts of "is this too much? too strange? too out there?" fuck it, we ball. Break the ancient seal cast upon ye. Unleash the inner esoteric thing within clawing, begging to wreak creative havoc.
