I hope you make and find the time to be bored

I hope people learn your conlangs

I hope you get to write and reinvent your favourite tropes over and over again

I hope you know you haven't magically forgotten how to write a story between one project and the next

I hope you remember backspacing is still work

I hope your readers love your maps

I hope you know the thing you're avoiding working on is rarely as hard as you think it's going to be

I hope you have one of those flow sessions

I hope your next thing is even better

I hope that rejection motivates you

I hope your story ideas, plot bunnies, stray characters and single pretty lines find each other in your notes and in your brain to create exciting new combinations - this goes with that!

I hope people learn your conlangs

I hope your ending leaves your readers with a hangover and the feeling they need to text their friends to read it immediately so they can talk about it with someone

I hope you start your next session knowing what comes next

I hope you leave space in your day for your subconscious ideas to find you

I hope you keep your eyes on the task in front of you and don't get overwhelmed by how long you've been going already or how far it seems you have to go

I hope you are the first writer to use an Ao3 tag
