On days where the struggle isn't "and my agent's gonna fire me and I'll have to go live in my best friend's closet," I mostly get by with reminding myself 'someone needs this.' Maybe it's just 4-5 people, but someone needs it, and they're not gonna find it if I don't write it. Also, rent's due.

How do y’all write without throwing everything away bc your internal voice says “This isn’t award eligible so it isn’t worthwhile” I am asking a couple of friends privately but honestly like i need to know lol
