You won't remember but a couple of months ago (!) I came on here asking for help with a nasty block and generalised writer's anxiety. I got loads of supportive, constructive replies. (Old Friend, you were quite brisk with me, and at the time I have to admit I was rather fuming, but in retrospect even your "stop whining and start writing" approach was very helpful).

Anyway, in true brattish fashion, I read all your replies and buggered off. I just wanted to say that thanks to you, I've been writing every day, and it's still painful and frustrating and confusing and and and...but I've realised that's actually what writing is, rather than a sign I should give up.

I've also realised that I may never be a brilliant writer but that's not the point. The point is to keep doing it.

So thank you.
