Thank you for sharing your insights. It’s inspiring for someone (me) who has several started drafts in the drawer. It helps to know that others, outstanding writers like you, struggle as well. 🤍

As someone who has quit a number of projects that weren't working out, I know how hard this can be. It takes real courage to walk away and even more guts to say it out loud to the world like you've done here. But it sounds like you already know which direction to go in and are on your way to something great. I know you'll figure it out.

Thanks, Logan. Why can’t I make up my mind on the novel direction? We should chat about what mental illness this is.

Thank you for sharing 💛

I loved and can relate to "Because I realized that I don’t believe in hurting people that don’t deserve to be hurt, just for the sake of creating art."

I've struggled with writing my novel for the same reason. Looking forward to what you come up with next!

Thank you! So glad you resonate with that part. I think a lot of people would argue with me on it :)
