Sheridan, wow what a list of resources.

Didn't realize there was so much out there and just need to pick a few things because otherwise I start chasing all these shiny objects and don't get anything done and I've really been focusing on writing and connecting with people on Substack.

I saw a few, I'm very interested in. Just need to set boundaries with time management and getting everything in all taken care of my mom.

Thank you so much for the resources and the article 🤗💕🙏

Thanks for this wonderful insight, Kathleen. I completely agree, it’s so important to make sure any resources we use don’t become a distraction that takes away from what matters most. Time management is absolutely key. 🙌

Thanks, Claudia! I’ve been reading more poetry and micro/flash fiction here on Substack, and it definitely inspired me when writing this post :)

The inner critic can be very loud; great idea to have practical resources to silence them.

Thanks, Sheri! I've tried so many resources over the years...and the ones that work are always the simple, low-tech ones. That's what I tried to list in this post :)

Wow, what a phenomenal list! Thank you. My inner critic can be tyrannical, so I'll definitely be dipping into some of these...

Cheers, Tim, thanks very much! Glad it can be useful to others and not just me. The tyranny of the inner critic shall be defeated...at least in fits and spurts :)
