I think I’ve figured out why I like writing so much.
Yes it’s terrifying and painful and I spend like 90% of my time dreading it and convinced I’ll never come up with anything worth writing down, let alone being able to write it.
But then you get that 10% where everything clicks into place, and that problem you’ve been agonising over for days (convinced this’ll be the thing that stops you writing forever) suddenly has a solution that makes the overall work better for it.
That thrill and satisfaction is enough to stop my anxiety and depression in their tracks - even just for a short time. It makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something.
Even if a new problem will present itself soon, and I’ll be convinced I won’t be able to figure that one out either ;)
