During the Writer Holiday Party, we’d love to hear from you in the thread. We will prompt you throughout the party to share your thoughts on the following questions:
What's your advice to fellow writers heading into 2022? We asked Anna: How do you stop to recognize what you've accomplished? And how do you refocus and refresh when starting a new chapter? How would you answer?
What’s one word you would use to describe how you are feeling about the year ahead?
Remember, you can visit writer and reader profiles by clicking on the profiles of writers in the thread.
Thank you substack for this loving community - so heart warming to see everyone today and I feel like I belong.. I am right where I need to be.
I can't believe I am self publishing my first ebook tomorrow Dec 21 2021, and this is happening because I made a promise to help folks and be a voice for the unspoken and break the stigma on mental health..
A broken teacup: Filling the cracks with mindfulness, essentialism and self care.
2021 was brutal. I say that because it was super busy and I spent most of the year feeling as if I was driving a car I was trying to upgrade and repair while it was driving 100 miles an hour.
I tend to judge success with the newsletter based on the people who are reading it and sharing it. Mine has added a lot of media industry executives and reporters. Which tells me that there must be some worth there, given they're signing up for something that is going out five days a week. Also, I pay attention to the open rate as a metric to tell how valuable it is to readers.

Grateful!
Just want to second the folks saying that we need to have quarterly parties that are five hours long. 😉

Buggered 2021
Revolution 2022
1. 2021 = "Unpredictable"
2. We should definitely celebrate what we have made/written, even if it doesn't feel like "success"
3. Advice: Schedule a once-per-week "what I've achieved smugness session"
4. 2022 = "Scared" (and excited)
Failure
Hello Substack world!
1. Fudged-up! (there’s a better word for this but want to keep it PG)
2. Never read her column but the editors pitch article is right up my alley.
3. Why not write while you “lock down” again, and again, and again.
4. Snarky
I am Oludare Victoria from room 10. I am here.
