In my last post I mentioned how happy I was with getting some awesome comments on my last story. Now I deleted that part and added it back a few times, because what if people thought I was this egotistical big head?

But you know, I am proud and there's nothing wrong with that. So I'm standing here and saying I'm proud of the story, I think I wrote it well.

Now I want you to do the same. No need to dim your shine, it's just me, and I'm asking you to tell me about the story you're most proud of, with links so others can read it too if you're comfortable sharing. A paragraph that you wrote and think is amazing, and hey, copy pasting that here would be awesome. If you're not a writer, tell me about an icon you made that came out well, a graphic or a website you built. Tell me about the kick ass cards you make, that you've painted your walls at home and they look fab. The shelves you made out of breeze blocks and planks.

I want to know. So no hiding your light. Be proud.

It's hard to talk about feedback that makes us happy, that is extra special because it means we did an awesome job. It feels like bragging, even when it's only squeeing. I got a comment on my last story from someone I've fangirled since the beginning of time, who's never, ever commented on something I've written before, and I wanted to tell the whole world about it, but hi, kind of lame. Anyway. I get you.

I'm most proud of the Epic, no surprise there, and also last year's Dragon story and this year's MtYG story.

Also, I just started reading your new story and I'm not very far, but it's so, so good.

It feels like bragging

That's it exactly. It does feel like bragging, like look what I've done and I want applause. Which isn't true. I just want to squee about people getting what I wrote.

I would have wanted to tell the world about that comment too. I hope you emailed some friends at least, because I don't think it's lame.

Yes, yes and yes! All those choices are awesome.

You're a star for giving my story a try. Thank you :)

Yes, I instantly emailed Ashley and Mary.

I'm giving your story a try because it's you, so how could I not?
