As someone who should have the word "insecure" tattooed somewhere on my body, I am extremely hesitant to say out loud that things are going well in my writing world. (And now the tortoises have ducked inside their shells, sure the lightning is about to strike. . . . ) After a long and ugly drought, I find myself in a deluge of "wins." (More about this in a future post!)
But before those wins was the work. A whole weeping-hot-mess lot of it. Creative, emotional, mental, you name it.
And it was worth it.
And it was worth it.
For the record, let me just say that I am not so cocky as to think the work is over. Pffft. Some version of that drought will come again. Writer's block/burnout. Rejections. Not so nice reviews. Breakdowns. Meltdowns. And sometimes it just doesn't matter how hard or how much you work, it still feels like you fail.
Do it anyway.
Keep working. The work makes the wins even sweeter.
I will keep working, keep winning.
And I will keep cheering for all of you and wishing you all the wins.
