I’m Feeling Burnt Out
An honest reflection of the situation
It feels strange to be writing this.

And it isn’t that becoming a full-time writer has killed my love of writing. It’s just changed things. Writing is now work. And like any job, it has its sources of anxiety and frustration.
I love it. But it’s still work.
