I think self-doubt causes me to procrastinate more than anything else, though, like I'm waiting for it to go away before I start writing again. Not a good strategy.

Plus I'd love to enter the IWSG Anthology Contest, but it will be hard to fit it in.

Somedays, I simply can't look at the screen on my laptop so I keep notebooks and pens all round the house. Over coffee, I might write a few hundred words and then again at somepoint during the day. Even if it is rubbish, it's getting words down on paper and those few snippets add up. Wishing you lots of inspiration and encouragement. You can do it!Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674648154579013578noreply@blogger.com
