Thank you so much for your answer to my questions! And especially sharing about how this celebration of your work helps you manage your mental health. I struggle with similar feelings (as do MANY of my writers), and I know we will all squirrel away pieces of what you do to use for ourselves.

I already keep a "good things" file for my good reviews, but in thinking through the redundancies built into your process, I realize I don't track as thoroughly when I'm not feeling as positive about myself. You've inspired me to use my tracking (and celebrating) intentionally as self-care. Thank you 😊

I’m so glad you found this helpful. I try to be open about my struggles with this because writing is damn hard and even harder when life throws you curveballs like mental health struggles and other disabilities. If this helps other people get through it, then that’s wonderful. All the best, and thanks again for your question.
