Writing is really good for your mental health

Ugh, I know. But it’s TRUE.

Journaling is not my thing, y’all. Writing is already so much a part of my job…and now that I’m a fancy author lady, not just an academic wanker, it’s a BIG part of my job.

So I feel y’all deep when you tell me that you don’t want journaling to be part of your therapy homework. But then I’m going to follow up with “but it really, really helps and that makes it so worth at least trying”

”Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.” — Issac Asimov
