Priorities

Here's the brain weasel that's been keeping me up at night and stopping me posting: "you are not a real writer because right now you are prioritizing your mental health".

It is a stupid weasel and it is fired. How can anyone write when most of their brain is busy checking the room for insects? But that is not a permanent state of being. It might take a while to get through, but it can be got through. And then I will write again. And regardless of which period I'm in, I'm still a real writer. I don't know what a fake writer looks like; I don't think there is such a thing.
