Thanks for this posts. I am struggling with a manuscript and I'm thinking it might just be time to put it aside. Enjoy your summer with your family and have a happy book launch!

I’m still wrestling with the one I wrote about. It’s a hard call to make! Hope you figure it out one way or the other. And thank you!!

Love this post, Vicky. It's funny how for hardworking perfectionists, the "I just don't want to" sign can often be hard to recognize! Great reminder to give ourselves permission and free that bandwidth for other ideas.

That must’ve been so frustrating to be at Highlights and have no mojo for the project you set out time for. BUT I appreciate you sharing this experience. So relatable.

I feel like it gets harder and harder to trick my brain, it's gotten used to my usual tricks! I think I need to change things up and find new ways to find my flow...
