Yeah, I tend to think more of it as, "dang, I didn't get a chance to write today, I love writing!" and not, "I didn't write today, I suck." It's just the slightest shift in perspective. I think getting to where you're looking forward to writing - and everything else that entails, like new notebooks and pretty ink and a hot drink - instead of feeling obligated to write is what makes all the difference.

Because at the end of the day, it should be fun. Right? I don't write for a living, so I don't have to put that kind of pressure on myself. It's something I do because I enjoy it, and sure, I want to write things that are good, and I want to improve, but if I'm not having a fun time then there's no point. So that overall is sort of how I approach it.
