is it bad?

[MakersDozn]

Nope, not bad, not lazy, not worthless. Not any of those negative things. Please try to stop "should-ing" on yourselves.

You guys have been through a tremendous amount of....stuff. The challenges that you face are understandable when you consider this. We wish we could say or do something that would help things get easier for you, but all we can do is listen and try to be supportive.

You also have a tremendous talent for graphics and design. And while we haven't read your fiction, we'd bet that you're great at that too. Just because you don't get paid for this work or don't do it on as regular a basis as you might like doesn't mean it's not of great value.

Anyway, we're here, and we're sitting with you.
