there is so very little emphasis on protecting the process the deeper you get into it and it can be a struggle to allow your focus to encompass that when the demands and stressors are so omnipresent for storytellers. i love this post and what it reminds us of. beautifully said, ashley!!

I was recently told that running from goal to goal is part of the entrepreneur mindset. I've tried to force myself to to have a mini-celebration when I reach a goal. Then, I can wake up the next day and tackle the next one.

We talked about this together for a moment the other day at Romance Con and it's something I've also been thinking about a lot the past few days ever since! I completely agree. Writing is life, but you remember the joy sometimes by keeping that special little side project just for you without the pressure or expectation. Absolutely loved this post!
