Reminds me how 2021 onwards feels like a different life compared to everything before. I’m only just growing into my confidence as a writer. The going’s been slower for me striving for a part-time level income, but we have to take it easier on ourselves when life inevitably does happen. For me, that meant perimenopause and chronic fatigue hitting me hard all at once last summer. I’m still feeling the 4+ months it took to adjust, mainly in my bank balance and also in my anxiety. But I’m still doing loads better for myself emotionally and mentally than I was pre-Covid!
I’m so glad to hear things are getting back on track! There are so many factors that can come in and slow us down, but slow progress is still progress (even though it doesn’t always feel like it)!
Thanks for the article Steph, and for answering the AMA questions. You helped me put everything into perspective, but most importantly, you reminded me to enjoy the process and what I’m doing, something I easily forget when ambition takes command of the control room in my head.

That’s so wonderful! I have to remind myself to enjoy the process, too. And the exciting moments where it feels like anything’s possible!
