Proud of you. I think what you've achieved is honorable. You've discovered a way to tap into your creative excellence, and find your voice as a writer. You've encouraged many others in their journeys as writers. And you've created a community–a support system–to help these writers. High-five! 👋
Yeah, and I feel your discouragement. People like you and I put a lot of heart and soul into our posts. A lot of talent. A lot of time. And there's not always/often a fair energetic exchange for our good work. Still, the work is worthwhile, and rewarding in its own way. The best news of all is that we have these fabulous creations, and maybe they will continue to appreciate as we appreciate them.
In my experience, I believe it's important to celebrate these completions with some self-love. To me, it's vital to hold the completed works in my attention and really feel the energy in them. Look and feel and resonate with what we've created, and give the creation some reverence. This way, we remember the gifts in it, in us.
