Hit that anvil!
Writing daily isn't a soft wellness routine. It's survival. I stripped the safety nets. Voluntary starvation to focus the mind. If you can't master your flesh, you can't master the page. Stop waiting for permission. Forge your blade and fight for your dinner.

She is not a child playing. She is a monarch surveying her silent, empty kingdom.
