@loveloaf__ I have a hard time breathing if I’m focused on it, and not breathing makes everything shaky/tingly, so I concentrate on opening and closing my fists or naming things around me until things slow down but here are Real Techniques: https://t.co/Z9JyyHmRX3

It’s a really hard time to do any creative work—for everyone. But trying to shake out some writing just for yourself IS writing. Unclench your fist. Be kind to yourself. That’s work, too.
