Work in Progress Wednesday!
Hello!
How are you?
Just when I'd gotten over the high of finally fuckin' finishing something--and even submitting it--I got a even bigger high when I opened my email from the editor of the collection I submitted to. If you remember from last week, I was worried that it wasn't haha funny and that I hoped it would still be acceptable and fit into what they were putting out. This was their response:
"Oh, it most definitely does! This is excellent. I really, really like
it... so much so that I have no notes whatsoever. (This almost
never happens.)
Thanks for making my job easy :-)"
♥♥♥
And I can totally attest to the fact that usually he has many, many notes as that was how my last essay with them went with their Doctor Who book. So that's pretty awesome, yeah?
So, I thought I'd do a little something this week--though, do feel free to drop your WiPs if you'd rather--to celebrate our awesome. Share with us something that someone has said about your work or yourself. A comment left on a fic, a compliment paid to you at work, a confidence boost you received when you needed it most.
I've shared mine, now you share yours. ♥♥

I also found it nice that I got a compliment on crowd management on a survey for a program I helped wrangle people for, considering I had, earlier on in my career, been complained at by others for lacking classroom management skills.
So the good stuff is sometimes long and sometimes small, but it adds up, and I've learned to build a hoard of it because my brain likes to believe the idea that I'm not good at anything or that the bad things people say about me are more true than the good ones.
(And, it turns out, my WIPs that I can talk about didn't get any progress for this week, so this is timely.)
