This writing thing is hard

It's been nearly two weeks since I've gotten more than 300 words or so out. The first week I gave myself a pass, since I was start new brain candy, and I really should give myself some credit for this week, since work was very draining, but I haven't written for my story at all. I've poked at other ideas or journal entries, contemplated OOMs, but the sad fact is I keep avoiding my book. I'm not entirely sure why. I think I've nearly convinced myself I don't know what to do with the story and it's meandering, which is possible.

I think I need to reread what I've got so far and when I get back to writing, stop trying to force things into the story. Rough draft needs to just flow. I can go back once I've got something to work with to make it less self indulgent or problematic or shallow or whatever other "problem" my Imposter Syndrome self keeps telling me about.
