 #WritersCoffeeClub 25 What keeps you striving concerning your writing goals?

I'm probably an outlier here. One of the things I settled on in therapy this year was *not* to strive. I could work on things I love, but I didn't need to accomplish anything this year.

I've tried to take that to heart. So, I've finished my debut and I'll start working on my next project as soon as an idea sparks joy with me. 

No goals, just follow the joy.

 @8b01cb79 I love this 😊 I had to stop striving for mental health reasons and it turned out to be brilliant. Now I'm in a phase of softly striving, but I still try and prioritize joy
