ZeNeece 🦄🏎️

is crawling along, reminding me in a very insistent and urgent tone, that I am a terrible and I can't do this current job, and I really need to tell the author of the book that I am an incompetent and to find someone else.
I am pressing on, trying to just accomplish one little bit of this fiasco. So far, not so good.

@ZeNeece I doubt someone would hire you to illustrate if you were incompetent. Don't let the doubt monster get you! Do things that inspire creativity and try again tomorrow. 😀

@RoseFlint thank you! I'm trying to do that. The Doubt Monster is very loud and distracting, but I am forcing myself to just do a few bits that I am capable of doing. I really do feel like this job will forever be unfinished and hanging over my head. My very own Sisyphean Rock!
Thank you so much for the kind words. It's so helpful! The unicorn is too! 🦄

@ZeNeece 😁 doing the bits you feel comfortable with sounds like a great way to start!

@RoseFlint Thank you! I did that all day and now I am indulging in some Mastodon, an , and maybe a little video game.
Oh, and maybe even some ice cream. Because I made progress! :)

@ZeNeece Congratulations! You deserve to treat yourself! May your Thursday be as productive! A little at a time. Set timers and take reward breaks as needed. You got this! 👍🏼

@RoseFlint well, after I wrote that yesterday, I ended up working more and I never got the ice cream or any of the rest of it, lol.
But I made a bit more progress.
Apparently I am very bad at rewarding myself, lol.

@ZeNeece sometimes finishing work can be rewarding in itself!
