As we head into year-end here’s a reminder for anyone who needs it:

You have done more than enough this year πŸ’›

The colder it gets, the more horror I write. I don’t make the rules.

Does anyone else go immediately from super burnt out on a draft and finally finishing it straight to hyped to start the next project while the other is out of your hands? Rest? I don’t know her πŸ˜‚

A couple things would be to attach a positive to the negative, so set up some kind of treat system to every response you receive, and also if it really starts getting to you, you could give your email to someone trusted so you aren’t seeing it (I did this and it was a huge help)

It’s easily one of my all time favs!!! Really makes me want to learn even more about turtles. It’s also really heartwarming ☺️
