Stop Struggling Alone-
"In the last couple of months, I completed my book revisions and wrote two articles. And submitted all of them. And as I wrote, I became happier with what I was writing and could relax and enjoy the meandering process of deep thinking through writing that inevitably takes me to unexpected places. And also, as I wrote, particularly through the book revisions in my response to the readers’ comments, I found a stronger and more confident voice. I learnt a whole bunch of ways to keep the feelings of overwhelm under control, which feels particularly timely, as I’m on my first year of a full-time job."

My writing system has fundamentally changed since I started this program. Today I sent to my co-authors a new manuscript that I wrote from scratch. I just want to express my gratitude for all the change and progress this program have offered me. To many unstuck days (and shame-free weekends)!
