I never used to hate end-of-year rounds ups, but now I do. Which is a little hypocritical of me as I just tweeted one about the number of writing rejections and acceptances I’ve accrued in 2023. And actually, it made me feel a little better about my writing itself: I’ve made progress. But I still dislike them because I know there’s someone out there who’s had an awful year, and who, upon seeing these lists of achievements, feels even worse.
There are certainly better things coming. Sending you all my love. ❤️
