Thank you for sharing such an honest and relatable journey! Your words are a reminder that writing isn't always about constant productivity but about finding joy and creativity in the process. The analogy of creativity being like an electric car that needs recharging really resonated with me. It's comforting to know that even successful writers face doubt and burnout. Your perseverance is inspiring, and this piece has encouraged me to be kinder to myself during the tough days. I'm definitely taking your advice to step back and recharge when needed! Keep going—you’re making an impact.
