Take me for a walk.

Challenge #8

In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, a gift of your time to the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I was able to leverage my professional network contacts to let me move right from one job into another.

I met James Marsters, who thinks my hair is amazing.

I finished writing The Tiger is Out, which is the longest thing I've ever written, fic or original, and in doing so, told a story I can be proud of.

I talked a friend into attending her first fandom convention - online, distanced, and she had a good enough time she might well attend one in person when those exist again.

I was able to be a source of help and of happiness to people around me.

Turn and climb again.
