Writers should NOT feel guilty about:
- Skipping a day of writing.
- Not having a perfect first draft.
- Partaking in sinister, arcane rituals for inspiration.
- Working at their own pace.
- Enlisting demons and/or helpful spirits to aid them with editing.

Pros of Being a Writer in the Country
- Usually very quiet
- Pretty much no one knocks on your front door
- No cell reception means no one can call you either!
- Sometimes the power goes out, so no distracting wifi
- You can burn embarrassing old notebooks in the trash pile so no one can ever read them and it's very mysterious of you
- One big shopping trip a month and then you don't have to go anywhere for a while
- neighbors are possums and turkeys
- Tumblr loads just as badly at home as in town
- become hermit
- still don't write anything
Also sometimes you hear the sound of someone being horribly murdered and it takes you a few minutes to realize it’s just the peacocks screaming again.

no you see this is my emotional support rewrite of chapter 1
How could you call me out on this, the seventh day of semi-Nano, still being stuck on chapter one
“do you write for work or just for fun” none of the above. this activity is neither profitable nor enjoyable
ALTI think about this quote from Kevin Perjurer a whole lot.
