Hey there, writer/author friend. I wanted to say something to you. If you’re wondering if I mean you, then I probably mean you.

You’re pretty great.

You get a lot of pressure, anxiety, impostor syndrome, and no doubt plenty of crap from doing what you love. Whether it’s from negative or positive comments, or the voices of your inner negatives and positives. From knowing people are waiting for a chapter or a submission, from the hope and fear of what people are going to think of your story or plot or characterizations, or whether any of it is even any good… Any and all of that and more.

Well, no matter what, I think you’re awesome.

Whether you do it for free or not, for the love of writing or for fandom or a great ship, for passion for literature or a certain subject or just whatever drives you to put words on a page. You find a way to do it. No matter how long it takes you, or how many words you do it with. You try to the best of your ability. Even if that ability might be considered rough. Even if (or especially if) it’s not your first language. You do it, and you share it.

I want you to know that I appreciate it. I appreciate you for it.

Thank you, author. Thank you, writer. Thank you for your words. They mean quite a bit to me, because I love to read, and I would have nothing to read if it were not for you (and for all of you).

Thank you. ❤️
