hey remember when anon asked me if i had any resources on handling the drawing process with ADHD that were similar to stimuwrite and i said nah unfortunately not and then proceeded to badly explain my own copes with the process
the heavens have parted and the resources have fallen into my lap thanks to @justmenoworries reblogging this (thanks pal <3)

Worried about how much time it will take to learn to draw, write, or pick up any sort of skill that you’re really interested in? Concerned that you’re not ready to take on that project you really want to do because you don’t feel like you’re “good enough yet” to Do The Thing? Borrowing too much grief from the future as you worry you may fail and all your efforts might some day feel like a ‘waste of time’?
The time will pass anyway.
