…When You Don’t Feel Productive (Tish Harrison Warren)
There are times when I get up and I know I need to write. And I don't feel it. There’s no inspiration, and I am exhausted. I feel really dry, spiritually or creatively. It's this insurmountable task.
Sometimes the right thing to do is to just press in and keep going. And sometimes the right thing to do is to listen to that sense of resistance and stop.
And there's no discernible difference. There's no light on the dashboard. There's nothing that tells me one over the other.
So it's so hard for me to discern.”
