This is a really good thread, although the "unlearned writing for other people" part rubbed me the wrong way a little bit.

Also this one! Because this is something I really struggle with. I really need to stop feeling bad about not writing for a long period of time because there's absolutely nothing wrong with that and it won't make me less of a writer! https://twitter.com/warsfeils/status/1302714481580085250?s=19
