So often our culture defines "success" as numbers: subscriber count, open rate, likes, etc. While those metrics are useful, remember that success can also be measured in how you feel. Do you wake up knowing what to create and how to share? Do you have a keen sense of clarity around who you are as a writer, integrating that into your everyday life? Are your days filled with the moments of exploration around the themes that inspire you as a writer? These too are markers of "success" -- a life of words, conversations, relationships, and a sense of deep connection.
