Tooting my own horn.

I just got an e-mail from someone for whom I wrote a couple of science features. I had to do them more quickly than I would have liked, and I hadn't heard anything, so I wasn't sure if they were any good.

The e-mail said: "Thanks for the very nice work you've done . . . The text was interesting, age-appropriate, and well-crafted." (It then went on to ask if I wanted to do more, which I'm not sure I can right now with everything else I'm doing.)

Every now and again, it's nice to be reminded that, though I may be depressive and have trouble getting going and getting organized, and I feel bad about that, I'm actually pretty damn good at what I do.



Okay, bragging over now. Must go back to editing a chapter on alcohol, tobacco, and drugs.

P.S. Everyone should come see leighjen's show tonight.

Woohoo! Someone not only liked what you wrote, but took the trouble to tell you why they liked it. This is a Good Thing.

Rrrrrrrockin'.

Specially the part about /even though/ you have trouble etc, you're good at it. I know the feeling.

It is nice to get those sorts of compliments, isn't it?
