Thanks for reading Alchemy, Art, and the Writing Life! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. I know the melange of feelings well—I want to write, I’m not sure how to get writing into my regular (already crammed life), I’m not sure what I’m doing is any good, (I suck at this). We writers, especially in the early days of a project, can be really unkind to ourselves and I coach my clients on self-kindness and getting out of their own way more than anything else. You’re in good company, I promise.
