Here’s a reminder for Writer’s Appreciation Day: appreciate yourself.

Appreciate the hard work you put into your craft. Appreciate what you’re capable of and what you strive to achieve. Appreciate the various gifts you’ve given to whatever fandom you’re in, even if you’re alone or one writer among hundreds. Appreciate what you’ve done and what you’ll do in the future, your successes and failures. Every accomplishment is great.

Appreciate yourself at your best, at your worst, and at your most meh. Appreciate yourself on the days when you can write 5k words and the days when you can barely write five. Appreciate yourself when the words are small, when you’re uninspired, and when trying your best still leaves you feeling like you’ve done nothing. Appreciate yourself when you love everything you write. You’re deserving of every ounce of self-love you can give yourself.

Every day, you’re a writer. Even when you’re not writing, you’re a writer. Appreciate that.
