Here’s something sweet and warm and gooey to cheer you up on those days when rejection letters and emails fill your inbox and this writing game seems just too hard.

Make the pudding while repeating to yourself.

I am a good writer. My work is valuable. My success is inevitable!

This will make the pudding taste extra good.

Eat it, then go write something just for fun.
Love to all,
Edwina
