Love the analogy between baking and failing to act when inspiration strikes- "We wouldn’t try this wait-until-later-maneuver while baking because you would be forced to look at your dough rotting. You would be forced to come face to face with your own avoidance and neglect."
I have been thinking about how to build momentum in my own writing practice and I think you just provided a valuable piece of the puzzle
"Inspiration is perishable". Also I read this article regularly to remind myself to "make art"

“Act when inspiration strikes”. - yes! Great piece.
Beautifully written and immensely relatable. This might be my new favorite of yours, Isabel.
I love this! So much
