Unfinished business

Jenny Lawson (thebloggess) Feb 16, 2026

Hello, friend!

Okay, confession time.

Last week I recorded the audiobook for How To Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay and then I collapsed in a limp pile of exhaustion, which is embarrassing because why is “just talking” for two days so hard? Regardless, I spent several nights that I would have normally been drawing while watching 90-Day-Fiance (don’t judge me) instead just hiding under the covers and recovering from being human in public for too long. And that’s why this week’s doodle is unfinished:

But the good news is that because it’s unfinished you can print it out and color it or draw on it and then you can share your version in the comments if you want. EVERYONE WINS.

Here’s a fun tip: I sometimes use the recolor app to upload my drawings and color them:

(PS. I’m not getting paid to plug them. It’s just a free app I stumbled on.)

So anyway…this is just to remind you that it’s okay to not hit every deadline (or any deadline) because you are so much more than your output. And so am I.

Thank goodness.

Hugs,

PS. As tax for not having a finished drawing, please accept this picture of a very sleepy Dorothy Barker intentionally laying on my art so that I will pet her instead of drawing.

Everyone’s a critic.
