Writers, an honest question:
How often do you actually write? Do you force yourself to write every day, even when you're not ready?
I haven't written a single word on my manuscript this week. I haven't been here or anywhere much, other than in the moment. I've been traveling, attending events, living life.
But the story is alive in my mind. It's shifting. Clarifying. Getting ready to emerge.
I'm trusting the fallow period.
I just published a Substack post exploring the difference between trusting your rhythm and avoiding the work—and why "write every day" might be just another hustle mandate. I'd love to hear your experiences, too.
So, my question for the community: Do you give yourself permission to have fallow periods? Or do you feel guilty when you're not actively writing? 👇
