Thank you, Jen. You've said so many things that I resonate with (while not complaining). I have wanted to quit many times as well. If writing wasn't vulnerable enough, now it is strapped to an algorithm or catchy marketing schemes. In moments, it feels rather impossible. And then other moments, when clarity comes for a visit, I embrace the work of writing (knowing it comes with this painful task of selling my writing too). Sometimes I feel very stuck. Sometimes I feel very free. I supposed this is the sanctifying process for my soul in the vocation I feel called too. Thank for you so beautifully putting words to my experience.

I am getting so many private responses to this, which makes me see how common this is as an experience. Thank you for sharing yours, too, Anjuli!
