Don’t give up! I know what you might be feeling right now, because I am feeling it even as I type this. I’ve never taken this platform as a chance to journal my feelings, but in this case, it may help. Today I was lethargic. I was sitting at my computer desk for almost all of it, feeling lonely and useless. I didn’t get any writing done today, and all I did was watch Netflix. Have you had those days? Yet, here, at the end of the day, I am writing (the timezones are weird on WordPress, I am writing this on 09/12/2025 at around 10 PM, but WordPress obviously doesn’t show that date or that time). I had planned to tidy up my room a bit and go to bed, but I knew that I needed to “Keep the Beacon Lit!” I have goals, I have dreams, I have people who read my blog (or at least click on it long enough to like the post <3 you guys too!), and they deserve what I can give them.

Sometimes you have to plant yourself in front of your computer, or at a table with a scratch book, and just burn. Let the discomfort, the boredom, the anxiety, and the fear burn inside you until that fire rages out of your fingers and onto the page. I want to be playing Tetris right now, but I need to write! I want to be playing Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 right now, but I need to write! So, burn with me! Creatives, lovers, dreamers, fighters! Face the boredom, face the monotony of life, and laugh as the keys burn under your fingertips, or the pencil shears across the page.

Fight for you! Fight for your readers! Fight for the hope of humanity! While the world burns, who will tell the next generations how the fires felt? Who will describe the sizzling flesh, the agony of flaming injuries, and who will warn them so they know to respect the flame? You, dear reader, let your fire warn those who come after. Let everything you feel be felt by you and those who need to read it.

I wish I had more to say, but I don’t. I’m going to go work on my fantasy WIP right now and see if I can pick up where I left off. Godspeed, my beloved readers, Godspeed.
