Tell Us about a Personal Win. Share whatever wins you’re comfortable with telling us all about. Found a new fandom that makes you light up? One of your creations has earned more kudos than you dreamed of? Wins from life, new job, new school, new adventure? You have a couple of wins you want to celebrate, we want to hear about them. Share a win or two so we can cheer for you.

I have mentioned this in another entry, but one personal win I had recently was last year, when I finally finished my degree(s) (although the certificates haven't arrived yet Because Bureocracy LOL). Due to some external factors I really struggled for a few years on the academic side of things, and it was such a relief to finally accomplish what I set out to do there. Things are far from settled for me in my professional life, but that was a huge step in the right direction.

Another thing I feel proud about is having started an author's newsletter, something I had wanted to do for a while. So far there's only one newsletter out, but there are two upcoming ones coming soon: another one with updates in February, and one with an original short story before the month is over. After some years floundering in the writing department -since sorting things out in academia took priority-, I also feel like I'm back on track on that front, too.

Congrats on the certificate.

Ah, I was just talking on Sunday (in my weekly writing post) about newsletters and wondering how they really do work out for people. Wish you luck with yours
