Writing as a Source of Stress
100-Word Writing Challenge, Day 22
So far, my attempt at writing and publishing at least 100 words a day in November has worked quite well. I am slowly rebuilding my daily writing habit. I also started feeling confident enough to submit my stories for Medium publications again — I know it sounds like an incredibly mundane achievement, but I was terrified of doing it for a while.
Instead of celebrating my improvement, though, I only feel stress.
I keep worrying about running out of steam, failing to come up with ideas, disappointing the people who read my work.
More than a creative block, I have an attitude problem.
In the remaining days of this challenge, I will do some digging and see if I can fix that.
If I want my writing habit to stick, I need to be able to find joy in it.
I am in this for the long run.
