it is #SELFPROMO DAY
will probably be the slowest-unrolling self-promo ever because I am work and we have a walkthrough by the regional manager today

it SUDDENLY OCCURS TO ME that this is not a forum wherein I have previously not talked about my story blog!

The story blog is a project I have kept running intermittently since 2012. If you are a Captain Awkward reader, you might recall letter #321, from a soul suffering artistic discouragement. THAT WAS ME. The story blog grew out of the response to my letter. https://captainawkward.com/2012/08/04/321-artistic-discouragement/

#321: Artistic Discouragement

@sjgochenour oh!!! i vaguely remember that letter and definitely remember the response and now i read your self published books! :D that is so cool.
@mxmatched aaaaaa yeah that’s cool to hear! progress does happen, though I guess it just takes ten years?
@sjgochenour I feel like i'm perpetually at an early stage myself (convincing myself to finish things and pitch articles and such) so even taking ten years is helpfully inspirational, as long as it happened, you know?
