Pep talker and author Matthew Salesses said this in his mid-month pep talk: “Go on. You are doing the hard thing. Only by going into the valley can you climb out of it—not back to the heights from which you came, not back to that beautiful idea, but to a new place, the beautiful place where your idea becomes new, because it becomes reality.”
Well, we are here to say that you did it, writer! You kept going; you did the hard thing. And now, you have a beautiful novel of your own to show for it!
Take a breath, take a bow, take a moment to be truly proud of yourself and your hard work. You earned it!
