I’m sure your post resonates with so many writers. So much of what you said rings with day to day realities of my own writing struggles. Your observations thus most helpful.

I’m almost done reading Kings heartning, encouraging and as always masterful On Writing.

I too am retired, well, mostly so. My writing is an ongoing struggle. I was pleasantly surprised that Mr King described the act of writing a joy, a happy thing (my words).

I’m happy to say that for me writing is also a true source of joy!

Now if I could just make some real progress! It would be a thrill to actually ‘sell’ one on Medium.

Take care.
