Love the idea of bite-sized chunks of writing! 20 minutes of free writing when I started my memoir helped make it accessible. So glad you got unstuck!

I'm imagining you one day as a guest author on The Shit No One Tells You About Writing and recalling these days. I'm glad you had a breakthrough. I like to write by hand, too!

That would be a dream! Definitely something for the vision board, maybe it will happen one day. Thanks, Kathy!

Writing by hand is also new to me and has been wildly generative ! I love your prompt board. I need to create some version of that for myself. Also, I mimicked Beautyland for my annotation last month. It was a perfect, refreshing break from all the heavy NF I’ve been immersed in. Cheers to being unstuck!

Oh, I bet mimicking Beautyland was so fun! I find that when you try on a new voice, it opens up possibilities within your writing. And hurray for writing by hand (even though the efficiency-driven side of me wishes it weren't so effective!).
