What could you do more of?
Sleep.
“Your body needs deep rest to heal from being depressed trying to play the character the world wants you to be.”

“I don’t wanna be this character anymore. I don’t wanna hold up this…this Avatar that you’ve created in the world. It’s too much for me. You know, you should think of the word depressed as deep rest.” – Jim Carrey
Hibernation and shutting out the world seems appropriate right about now.
Hey look! 👋 I purged one of my 90-some odd drafts! ☕️

Yes, very true.

And yet, I’ve edited it about 500 times since it’s gone live. This is why I don’t post drafts that have been sitting, I suppose!

If I have a draft for more than a few days, i toss it. Unless it’s something I am working on like our stories, NTT, etc. but other than that, if they don’t come in a few days, bye!

Beginning to think I should do the same. I rarely go back to them. It starts out as a good thing at the time but then somehow doesn’t finish.
LikeLiked by 1 person
I find when I go back to them I am usually just as stuck as I was the first time. I know then, for me, it’s a waste to keep it. I might write down one line on a notepad that I liked and use it elsewhere at another time, but the main bulk of it goes in the scrap heap. YMMV.
