I've been working on a would-be original novel which I'm pretty sure is not likely to interest anyone who's not me, so I really need to keep telling myself that it's okay that way as long as writing it matters to me. This is SO impressive! I tried for years to write "just for me" and I could never finish anything. That kind of pure internal motivation is hard to come by. But what you said was tremendously useful whether or not one is expecting to have readers; thank you! <3
And, yes, let's just get all of the crazy weird terrible things out of the way this year. I'm also looking forward to looking back on 2020 and going "what the hell was that?"
