When you learn about something new, people always talk about 'the Dip'. Essentially, it's this excruciating times when you feel like you're regressing instead of improving at a particular skill. Maybe the novelty of trying this new skill wore off and now you're forced to face the reality of not being where you want to be.

For me, the dip always happens because I do not know the line between the dip and just not being talented at a certain thing. I feel that fear gets in the way of me keeping up with something because I am afraid of wasting my time at a certain skill, and then learn after six month that I am terrible at it.

But, recently, also because of the coronavirus, I started to keep writing everyday. Now I talk with you like this because I'm starting to feel the DIP happen again. I am frustrated that I am not the level of writer that I wish I am and that I wouldn't see myself improve until months or even years later. But, well, I'll just keep writing. I've wrote a lot already and read back to my earlier works and got frustrated with myself for not continuing.

Now, I think it's time to keep writing until I finish my story :) Hopefully you are trying out a new skill and overcoming your 'dip' <3 <3
