I’m writing more, and more consistently than ever. Yet I’m struggling with guilt when I have a moment that I could be writing, but I choose to read a book, listen to a podcast, play Animal Crossing or something else instead.

It’s really annoying, because I love writing. And guilt should not be playing into something I love.

So when I start to feel guilty, I just remind myself, that I am not a writing machine. Writing is art. And writers need to nourish their souls. Otherwise the creativity dries up.
