I am feeling optimistic. Not cautiously optimistic…fully optimistic. I’m no longer feeling anxiety when I look at my laptop because I now know that I CAN write. I’m not worrying about my brain betraying me because of a stroke. I know that I can write and the only thing stopping me from doing so is me choosing not to write. So, I know that I need to make myself sit down and write. I knew that I needed to plan it, schedule it, and then do it so I asked ChatGPT to come up with a no stress creative writing schedule for me and it did. It looks pretty good. I’ve found that I love ChatGPT. You can ask it to come up with any kind of schedule or scenario by giving it your parameters and it will do just that. The writing schedule that it came up with is doable and guilt free but it has built in goals to work toward. It also gives me time off. I can work within those parameters. And, if I run into a problem, I can ask ChatGPT to modify the writing schedule based on the issues I might have with it. So, now all I have to do is follow my schedule and write!
