I have a different fear I plan to conquer in 2024! This fear of trying to write “right”! I think I started falling down that hole and it’s made writing not that fun anymore.
I didn’t wanna write more personal stories (with lots of “I”s) because I feared it’d be too “dear diary”-esque.

I have a different fear I plan to conquer in 2024! This fear of trying to write “right”! I think I started falling down that hole and it’s made writing not that fun anymore.

Sometimes I feel like I just don’t have anything to share!
So I’m gonna work on a balance and to just write how I desire to again. See what comes of it :)
I can relate to this Cierra. As I've grown in my writing I've slid around on this slippery slope and had to circle back to the specific reason I want to write in the first place. Holding firmly to that reason, and working to have fun with it, helps me to release the need to get it right, at least sometimes🤣
Yes! The "sometimes" is what's killing us! Haha I'm determined next year to focus so freakin' hard on my own lane when it comes to comparison! Maybe I need to write it somewhere I can see it every day. I may try that haha!
I'm with you, Cierra! I fall into this mindset a lot and I know it holds me back from sharing what could potentially be very helpful (or, at the very least, entertaining). Glad you're focusing on that balance! <3

Thank you so much, Brina! Maybe that'll be a big goal for me next year--stay focused on the end goal (just getting the work written and out there!).
