Warning: Limp veggies in your fridge? Make a filling soup on the cheap.

Unpopular opinion: 'Write every day' prompts killed my creativity

Honestly I had the exact opposite thing happen last month with a Tuesday deadline. Tbh forcing myself to sit there for two extra hours to just get words down actually broke the freeze.

So I guess my break is just grinding through the bad stuff until it starts flowing.
