Trust me, if I “like” your page, I read it

I’m an honest person, I wouldn’t want my “like” to support something I disagree with.

I do recommend hand writing this part because there is nothing like scratching up a page with a pen or pencil when you’re angry or upset or frustrated

It is important to recognize that clearing your mind is difficult. Owning up to that truth might feel pointless but the sooner it is acknowledged, the sooner you can work through it or around it. I have two strategies for this. If my head is too full of thoughts, anxieties, or feelings to jump straight into whatever I want to work on, I try to journal for a bit about what is bugging me, which helps me clear my mind. Usually I try to go for a page in the notebook I have dedicated to journaling. If I don’t want to or don’t have the time for that, I try to get a few sentences or words down.

how the fuck do I do this? (write a book)

It’s a Tuesday morning, and I’m late for work. I was supposed to work at 10am, now it’s 10:33 am. I got lost in the Palanca Awards application page, followed the rabbit hole to see a bunch of people getting their books published, their essays awarded, and all other things that “aspiring” writers want and “legit” writers have — a published work. Better, a published “body of work.”
