300 Writing Prompts: Triggers

I had to sit and think really hard on this one, because a lot of things stress me out--my job, my finances, my health--but I think the biggest one has to be whenever I'm unhappy with writing/my writing career.

I've made writing such an important part of my life. Healthy or not, it's also my identity. So when the words won't come or there are a lot of problems with the text, I stress. If the book isn't performing well in sales or there are bad reviews, I stress.

The healthiest thing for me to do would be to find another way to define myself and my life, but I haven't figured that out yet.
