It's been one of those days

Right now, I cannot do anything right.

My mind is a mass of thoughts, ideas, and emotions, all tied together into an impossible, hopeless knot. All of my outlines are pages of gibberish. My rough drafts are incoherent messes. Story ideas don't take off, or even crash. To quote a line from my favorite comic strip, " you might say they exploded in the hanger".

I don't know what's wrong. Maybe I've lost my touch. Maybe it's because I didn't take my Adderall today. I dunno.

Write just 1000 words today. Maybe they'll be shit, maybe they won't be. Maybe your touch is gone, maybe it was just in your head. Divine inspiration or not, with 1000 words you'll still have showed up to do your part of the job.

That's what writing is, ultimately. Just showing up. Creativity, skill, technique.. it's nothing without that.
