I didn’t write anything today.

No, I didn’t give up on writing this book. I did, however, take a break from writing to think about what I wanted as a person and a writer.

It’s interesting to me that a simple story can make me question my self-worth, while another can make me feel worthy.

Honestly, if you have stuck around this long, I want you to know that no matter how hard it is to write your story, it matters.

Give yourself some grace and be kind to yourself.

I believe in you.

So what did I do today?

I confronted the truths of the universe and dabbled in the art of moving the goal post.

I did no writing today, and that’s fine. Instead, I read two books, did some laundry, ate two healthy meals, and after this I will take a shower and hop into bed with my pillows to snuggle.

Today was a good day, even if I took a small break from writing.

Word Count: 34,761 words

See you tomorrow, friends.
