How to Write Effectively When the Wheels Come Off

The only work you can do is the work you do today. Give up the big dreams. If they come, they'll grow out of the love and wise attention you invest now. It's something you can do about that shit job now rather than waiting for the writers of massive book deal to appear at dawn on the third morning and rescue you. Maybe writing has become stressful for you because you're using your fantasies about it and what it could give you to avoid taking positive action in parts of your life. All I'm asking is that you stick with me.
