Because I struggle way too much with writing for a particular purpose. Maybe that’s because I don’t write enough for myself. Like I see a writing prompt as an opportunity to voice what has been brewing when they are completely different pieces/goals and have completely different audiences. And I need to have that boundary. Maybe giving myself the time and energy to let my thoughts come to shape and form elsewhere, that will help me make this distinction between my own life and my work that I think I’ve been craving.
