Ngl, the "reaffirm" concept is so real, especially when you're feeling burnt out from the creative hustle—tbh I've been using Create printable coloring pages to make coloring pages just to destress during those low-confidence stretches, but how do you guys actually stay consistent when the motivation dips?

We want to present our very best but even with self-publishing so much is involved especially financially that I considered I was fooling myself. I did this often.
Now I am reaffirming that I have to try harder and believe in myself more. I still have the same problems, but I also have a me that believes in not giving up and that to keep on trying is the only way to get better. Failing is just another way of learning what not to do. I wrote a post about this and now I need to believe in what I wrote.

I need to be more disciplined this year.
My word last year was Believe.
Now that I believe, I gotta buckle down and DO THE WORK!

Because I want my writing to ignite the passions of others.

in Dec. 2025, I realized I was in a writing rut and it was reflected in my writing. The book I am working on is stagnating.

Once I realized that, I decided I had to rethink everything outside the box. Only then will I move forward.
