I haven't necessarily been able to leverage this for actually getting through writer's block, but one thing I have noticed is that when I look back through stuff I wrote a while ago, I can't really see a difference in quality between the stuff that came spilling out of my head almost effortlessly and the stuff I had to tear my hair out over and fight for every sentence of. Sometimes I look at stuff that I remember being such a bear to write, and that I remember as being kind of shit, and I read it with the distance of a couple of years and, like...it actually doesn't suck, it's actually a pretty good read!

So that tells me that my perception of something I'm writing now as being awful and pointless and needing 9 billion edits before it's worth going on to the next scene...may not actually be accurate. Whether that helps me to leave it the fuck alone and write the next bit... 🤷🏻‍♀️ lol.

Good luck! 💕💕💕
