On using a familiar word in a new way, this leaped (leapt?) out at me from a piece that discussed AM’s advice to “write when you can” (as opposed to the usual advice of “write every day”):
Munro’s advice is an invitation to step away from “should-ing” all over yourself. It’s an invitation for grace. Write when you can.
A very thought provoking discussion! Thank you Alison & John.
John’s tenacity is inspiring and discouraging at the same time. But all’s well etc. Congrats.
Agreed--I understand! At the end of the day, we have to enjoy the sitting and writing piece. DEEP enjoyment. Yes, congrats are in order.

Yes! Sometimes the "should-ing" just shuts down.
