Exactly! I'm much more cautious with those (I have a few like that) because of that very reason.

I love notebooks. I've got them all around my house. Went to Japan last year and found some really cool ones to go along with my every day of life ones. I think it has to do with the singular focus you have to put into it vs. on a computer where you have access to so many things at once.

Writing is the only consistent thing I've done over the past 25 years. While I have a day job to pay the bills, writing has consumed my thoughts so... no... I don't think there's anything else that I would actually want to do with my life.

Nice! Going to be reading it this week while traveling to Seattle. Looking forward to it.

Never hesitate to take a moment for yourself. It's critical. Glad you took one!

I can't wait to check out King of Ashes. Probably my next book to read.

You've got this!

I would say the same. I'm not going to be very productive when I'm not feeling well. My brain is barely optimal as is.

The punctuation marks are key. Great job!

Such a great part of the game. I'd like a six-part animated miniseries of just them and their daily lives. Nothing long, like 10 mins max, but it'd make my heart jump for joy.

This is the biggest thing to mentally overcome—the pursuit of perfection. It can be crippling and counter-productive to your overall growth and momentum.

It does feel like there's more opportunity with self-publishing currently, though cutting through the noise can be difficult. Glad we have the option to decide what's the best path forward for us though.

Thanks for sharing this guide, it looks informative. Can't wait to review it.

You've got this!

Hope you feel better!

Great job, I'm hoping you hit your goals for the month! This month is all about editing this novel and then getting started on my next novel. So quiet month in terms of stats, but hopefully big progress on other fronts.
