I love that living in a chronically ill body has increased your creativity, that limits help you more than hamper. It's wonderful to hear such positivity towards writing with chronic illness, rather than focusing on limits being a negative thing. I cannot clap enough for your dislike of "writing every day makes you a real writer". It's gross and harmful and honestly, just small-minded. Also, I love thinking of small or shorter projects as "quick wins". I enjoy those as boosts myself! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thanks, Elle! And not to say that limitations don't ALSO really suck sometimes! I've just found that thinking of my whole life as a design prompt reminds me that as long as I'm alive, I have options (or can create them). Thank YOU for inviting me onto this site!

So welcome! It’s refreshing to have more positive (but realistic) spoonies out here doing their thing with honesty and joy!🧡
