Very much relate to ‘trust’ being the key word right now! Also, this post made me think that you might like the book Wintering by Katherine May - it’s all about those restorative fallow periods and the power of rest.
Goodness. 5k words sounds wild! Props for even attempting it. 1,000 is plenty and I think that writing *any* amount six days a week is a good habit. I’d like to do something similar (but like 250 words) if I can convince myself to commit. 😅
But with web dev side projects I've gotten into the habit of making slow and steady progress and it’s pretty incredible how much small progress can accumulate into big progress. It’s cliché, but the whole eat-an-elephant-one-bite-at-a-time thing is actually true (except not literally because elephants are awesome lol).

three cheers for joy and trust and ease and (especially) caramel apple pie
