That’s awesome! It’s always little nerve wracking to start up again, but you got this! (I also love it when you can see a noticeable improvement in your skills!!
)
That’s a really cool idea! It’s sort of like channeled stream of consciousness writing!
I really like that idea for the observational skills
I have this (weird? hilarious? ironic?) tendency to describe very little of the surroundings in a story, so this is definitely something I’ll try as a writing exercise 
Omg
that’s so bad!!! I have about 87 different creative things I enjoy doing, so I try really hard to cycle through what kind of art I’m doing and not push any one thing too hard. That helps me not get blocked (most of the time), too. I did a July drawing challenge, though, and by half way through I thought I was going to implode
and I probably still won’t pick up my sketch book for another couple months lol. But I’ll do digital sketches or write or something to keep my creativity flowing 
SAAAAAME!! Being an adult is stressful 
This is really good advice! I’m also really bad at slowing down and keeping my stress down and it totally does fry your brain after a while! It’s an interesting cycle because I think creativity helps keep stress down, but you have to keep your stress manageable to be able to create
