WIP Wednesday on a Thursday!
Feb. 26th, 2026 11:45 pm...Again, nothing to report!
I've been trying and failing to shake whichever species of plague has been going around my home and workplace, and at least lately it's been leading me to sleep a whole lot more. I still feel behind on most aspects of my life, which has made it even harder to sit down and try to get writing done.
I know it's a common struggle, to feel like writing 'can' or 'should' only happen when all other work is done. I have been trying to treat writing itself as a priority... but that's been difficult. Particularly when I'm not feeling wildly motivated and inspired, it's hard to sit down to prod at the WIP when I feel like I have a dozen other things hovering over my head!
Unfortunately, I also know it's likely that even getting 'caught back up' is an illusion; there will always be another crisis or undone chore or 'productive' task waiting to be completed. Even so, this year has truly come with some extenuating circumstances, and writing is very much NOT my actual job, ha.
