Many years ago while in a trough, a highly published writer suggested I keep a ringbinder of what were then 'cuttings' of my published work, even a Letter to the Editor. I remember chuckling and saying 'It'll be a bit thin.'
'Ah,' came the reply, 'but it won't be forever.'
And it wasn't. Now there are several ringbinders, and when I need to I just glance at the shelf.
Just followed you on Bluesky. I agree, it seems nice so far!
This is such a cool idea because it's so easy to focus on the lows and not the highs.
I screen-captured your tweet about how practical you thought The Complete Article Writer was - that's in my compliment journal too! (Thank you ☺️)
Thumbs up to your "compliments" journal.

Yep, I still keep my ringbinders, too!
Wonderful!
