What do I do? Slam the laptop lid closed and dance in the kitchen while making awesome food.

Do cleaning or organizing (stuff that needs to be done anyway, will make a nicer environment for enticing the Muse, and puts my brain into Figuring Stuff Out Mode but not about the issue in question. That hangs out churning in the subconscious.)

Beat the snot out of my punching bag.

Go for a hike somewhere gorgeous, suck in fresh air, and cuddle with trees.

Oh yeah. And I do obsessive searches on the specific issue I’m gnashing my teeth over...you know...like what to do when I want to chuck my whole memoir project in the trash. Which leads me to...ahem...other people wanting to tap out on their memoirs and writing about it.

Then I smash Subscribe buttons and become obnoxiously excited in their comments section. 🤪🥰🤓

Thanks for some more life buoy.

I had a different problem with my memoir. I was worried something dire would happen to me before I could finish it. But you post has me thinking about Scrivener again. I'm still using Google Docs because I didn't know what else to use when I began writing down my memories.
