2020 is hard.

Be gentle with yourself.

Audre Lorde said it best:

It is okay if you can’t write at the moment. It is okay if you can’t focus! It is okay if you cannot put pen to paper and unload (or unlock) your head! Writing is a process–and rest is often required! This may just be your time to rest.

Enjoy it! You need it. You earned it!

Rest, and get back to it. The words and worlds they contain are waiting on you.

With Love & Ink,

JBHarris
