Hi Kate. Write something.
Yes, I have been writing every day. It's just that some days I write and write and clever things come out of my brain, and some days I stare at a blank screen for an hour and I feel like a total failure. What I'm succeeding at is making myself stare at the blank screen for an hour instead of escaping into TikTok. I don't think I'm producing anything good but I'm creating a habit, maybe? So one of the things I was trying to write was what was supposed to be an allegorical short story about a woman getting stuck in a tunnel of memories of her dog that she failed and then killed, and being so sad but also not wanting to leave because that's her only connection to him. But apparently, I don't have the energy or time or gumption or talent to make that happen. So then I thought maybe it should just be a personal essay about a real girl stuck in a metaphorical pit of despair. Sounds fun, doesn't it? That'll getcha guffawing in a cafe. I'm always ...
Something.
