This is a message to everyone who didn't complete tickletober
To those who started strong, but didn't finish
To those who wanted to start, but life got in the way
To those struggling with burnout
To those who posted every day, but don't feel happy with what they put out
You are appreciated.
You are incredible creators.
This does not affect your worth or value as either a writer/artist or as a person.
Tickletober is not about success or failure
It is about the community celebrating the spooky season with each other
Whether you wrote, drew, liked, reblogged, read, viewed, or just were present on the site during this time
Thank you
And well done
You are wonderful

Another year (poem)
The winter days are rolling in
You and I are still around
All that talk of giving up
Yet no one heard a sound
Could it be no one would listen?
Is it hard to lend an ear?
Either way if you’re reading this
Please know I’m glad you’re still here
Go out and find your voice
Be who you’re meant to be
And if all goes wrong and falls apart
Come back, you can talk to me.
