You know you’re a writer when you get anxiety after not writing for a while, only to be replaced by anxiety when writing

People assume writers have an amazing vocabulary, but really we Google basic words

Things that COUNT as progress: -Daydreaming -Reading -Jotting down ideas -Other artistic mediums that give you ideas -Writing SOMETHING -Outlining -Doing something that helps your mental health -Having a you day -Anything that makes you better today than you were yesterday
