You know what they say...

There's a lot to say and nothing to say at all.

I've been very full of doubt as of late - mostly about my writing, which is frankly nothing new but lately it has been more tiring than usual.

I'm tired of having no confidence about it. I'm tired of thinking it's all no good and looking for reassurances. I want to do something about it, but I don't
