Hi, all
Everyone says to write every day, and I try to do that. But when I have a bad week that's especially run me down, or I'm having anxiety about the quality of my writing, I don't have the cognitive ability to write. The only exception to this is if I happen to have a scene coming up that could feed off of that emotion, then I can get out a good piece. However, writing for me comes from a happy, peaceful place, and when my brain is foggy or distant from a batch of life coming at me, I struggle to focus on what I'm doing, much less the quality or word count. I try to get some words down regardless, but I usually wind up having to stop because I'm frustrated. Does anyone else have this issue?
