A couple of times in my life I have taken writing breaks, and always whenever I’m called back to it, I’m able to find the joy and fun in it again

Same! I think a part of the dance of making things is getting better at recognizing burn out. I've gotten a lot better at realizing sometimes I just need to step away for a week and essentially put myself in artist time out lmao

Becca, I love this. I have been struggling so hard lately but I took a beat and in that beat I remembered that I do this out of love, and I need to chase that joy again.

Oh I'm so glad! And truly, don't be afraid to take a break. Sometimes our brains just need a reset and to fulfill the well.
