"Sometimes, you can be a bit less mean to yourself and just do the things you enjoy without the paralysing perfectionism or overwhelming ambition or gut-wrenching fear.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve hit your January word count goal or kept up with the courses or read your TBR pile or written your opus. What matters is that you show up, that every time you fall you dust yourself off, slap on a pair of tight leather chaps and get back on that damn horse."
