Give me proof that what you're writing matters.
Go, do it.
That's what I thought. You don't have a thing to show me, do you? No published books, no awards or praise.
But something you didn't think of? Your actual writing. The pages and pages, therefore hours and hours of work you've put into what you do. You care about it. That's proof enough. Keep it up.
Recovery sounds like a hospital word. Recovery from illness, from a broken bone, from something. I wonder if you could ever have to recover form something you brought upon yourself. Can you recover for someone else? Can you force someone to recover?
