i’m having to remind myself to nurture my hobbies outside of writing
i’ve been neglecting reading a book that i legitimately enjoy because i feel guilty for not writing. and not just books, but my friends’ fics that i want to read!
i have a ballroom competition this weekend that i’m very anxious about, but have not let myself process my feelings because i feel like i should be writing.
i have a date this weekend! but i almost didn’t agree to go because i thought “wait when will i write though?” since i’ve got the competition on saturday.
reading and ballroom are my two big Things I Do outside of writing and i have been putting so much pressure on myself to get to my fic that I’m not enjoying these other things or feeling conflicted about going out and having fun (like on a date).
idk i just needed that reminder today and i think this weekend i’m just gonna focus on those things instead of pressuring myself to get the next update done. maybe it’ll also help me get un-stuck too lol
