ART and creation are not objective, they are subjective. i AM the worlds greatest author and guess what bud, SO ARE YOU. the hurdle we must all overcome as creators is not talent, it is the hurdle of UNDERSTANDING. we already are all the worlds greatest authors, everything else is a distraction

In other news, my Great Book Heist was a roaring success

You've found my weak spot - the words "found family" make any book irresistible to me

Even better, I can download it on KU and you can save the promo days!

Absolutely love this nature connection list. I live in the centre of a major city so some of these are harder for me, but perhaps all the more important as a result!

Definitely the latter - it's something I've struggled with for years, even before I started writing, so I know it's something I'm susceptible to. As, I imagine, a lot of us are!

So here are some others things that are, in fact, productive:

🎨 Enjoying art
🌳 Being in nature
🍲 Cooking a nutritious meal
🎵 Listening to a new album
🚶 Going for a walk
🛀 Having some 'me' time
📖 Journalling, or writing for yourself
🙂 Stopping work early (not when you're exhausted)
