I say all writing is practice. But what if it’s hard to even do that? I know I’m not the only one to struggle, I know my limitations and constraints are trivial and I’m making excuses—but why? To myself, why? Why is it so hard to just start writing? And as I ask myself this, I gear up for yard work.

And what did I do with this extra alone time? Doom scrolled and made some bitchy political posts-as well as try and hype the anniversary of my book. I've only started this journal entry now. Why not write in all this quiet? Well, the doom scrolling doesn't help creatively. Nora and Raspy needing to be on me makes it hard to set up a keyboard which I would rather use to write. I wrote parts of 41 and CHNM on my phone. I need to embrace my constraints and work within them. Yet—it takes me three-plus hours of doing fuck all but fuck up my own mental health instead of escape into my own imagination. But where is joy?
