If it helps, remember: Last year's writing progress counts towards this year's writing progress!
-Or you can think of this year as a clean new slate if that helps more.
Whatever helps encourage you on your writing journey the most :3

It takes courage to return to writing you've paused or haven't spent time with in a while. Try to be generous with yourself

Writing goals may take longer than you had anticipated. It happens, and you should still be proud for every little bit of progress you've made.

Even one word on the page, is one word closer to a finished story.
Sometimes when you're faced with an iceberg, you've got to slowly chip away at it until you have some smaller ice cubes.
Don't give up.

If today’s writing feels slow, that’s okay. Your brain is quietly connecting dots you can’t see yet. Trust the invisible work—it counts.

When the draft feels uncertain, remember: Every great book once lived in this same messy, half-formed space. Possibility always looks like chaos at first.

Look at your WIP, not as a finished product, but as a journey you are just on the ride for -It will make creating it less intimidating.
It's hard not to think of the finished work before you get there (same tbh D:) but I have faith in you, create without fear!

When the words won’t come, don’t push—pivot. Read what inspired you to start this project. The spark is still there; it just needs oxygen.

Open that writing program or notebook. Just do it. Don't worry about adding any words just yet.
Staring at it sometimes helps too.

Some writing days feel like walking through fog. You can’t see far—but you can still move. Trust that the shape of the work will appear as you keep going.

It's okay to take a break from writing if you don't feel well enough today.

The scariest thing is opening the notebook/document. The next scary thing is actually writing.
But you can do it.

It's okay to take a day off. Your writing will be waiting for you when you get back. Take a little rest.

Write that sentence or phrase or scene you want to write now.
Worry about the rest later.

Don't think about what your story will be like when it's finished yet. That can lead to discouragement when you look at the page and it's not quite what you had anticipated, because it's an early draft.
Write from the here and now. Write here. Enjoy the moment.

No matter how many times someone asks if they can read the first draft you've written (looking at my family here - and I really do appreciate the enthusiasm and support!) - you don't have to show your work to anyone until you're ready. It's okay, take your time.

A blank page can be intimidating. What you need to do is show the blank page that YOU are the intimidating one. Frighten the lack of words away by writing, it doesn't matter the quality, you can worry about that later. But this is sure to scare the blank page away

Writing can take longer than you think it will. And that's okay. All good things take time.

Research is a gift—until it becomes a trap. You don’t need to use it all. You just need enough to move your point forward. The rest can stay in the notes.

When your body won't let you sleep, write instead. (I don't know that this is good advice in the long term, but it seems to be working for me at the moment)

I say this as someone who struggles with this myself: you don't have to wait for that strange and unknowable inspiration to visit you. Just open up the page. Write something. If it's terrible, you can always edit it later. But writing will make you feel better.

Challenge yourself to write just one word. Just one.
And if you're feeling it today, try writing one more word after that one. Just one. Write two words. Go wild.

Doubt is loudest right before a breakthrough. If you feel lost in the middle, you’re probably closer to clarity than you think.

Sometimes, opening up your WIP and then closing it again at the end of the day is the best you can do.
And that's okay.

One day you will look back at what you've written so far and be proud.
Every step you take up the mountain of achievement is a step you can look back on, and see how far you've come
Even if you don't show your work to anyone else
