I laughed out loud at ‘unwashed T-shirt before an interview’ — and then winced, because yep… that’s exactly what it feels like. You nailed it: the fear of a bad first draft is the real villain. Not ‘time.’ Not ‘the algorithm.’ Just that damn itchy shirt. Writing anyway today.

appreciate you June
Guilty on the 'no time' point. Need to get over that hill.

Been dodging the ‘bad first draft’ demon all week. This hit like a slap and a hug at the same time. Writing any words today, no matter how ugly.
