Dry spells are no fun! It’s great that you gave yourself permission to take a break. I’m in a dry spell myself at the moment and it makes me incredibly agitated and guilt ridden. Something about having a few busy weeks in a row totally killed my motivation to write. But I think I’ll take your lead and just chill about it. It’s trmporary.
Beautiful work, @vermillionfox!
Isn’t it terrible that we beat ourselves up over it? Yes, take some time off and I’m sure you’ll be back to writing very soon!
