Anxiety triggers and evening writing sessions 👩🏻‍💻

Evening editing sessions have become my calm, less noise, fewer expectations, just me and the pages. It helps, but it also makes the anxiety louder as the novel starts to feel real and close to done. Some nights I’m convinced this is the best thing I’ve ever written, other nights it feels like total garbage. I keep bouncing between those two extremes, trying to figure out which one is true, or if that tension is just part of finishing something that actually matters. I’ve no idea 🤷🏻‍♀️ #writer #author #novel #booktok #books
