It is OKAY to be proud of your work. It is OKAY to boast about your writing. It is OKAY to be your own number one supporter.
THIS! You will always be your first advocate. Long before you get an agent or editor, you have to advocate for your themes, characters, and stories.
Celebrate your work loud and often.
Point out what you love about your work.
Re-read what makes it great.
You'll still battle the occasional perfectionism and self-doubt, but you'll also build a stronger instinct to champion your work.
It's what every writer needs and it's what you deserve.

Oh they’re notching her tail. See the little bit taken out? That tells whoever catches her next to let her go– it’s a sort of “hey, this is a reproductive female; let’s keep the cycle going by putting her right back in the water” signal. The bit will grow back in 2-3 shed cycles, which takes a couple years.
They know she’s able to reproduce bc she was caught with eggs.
The abrupt way he slams the fish into her claw is so funny though like take your fucking lunch and get the fuck out of here. Ma'am.
Imagine being grabbed by eldritch giants and they give you lunch and send you back home
Imagine they shove a whole fucking cow in your arms and throw you back to the Earth
It’s better than that, even. First they give you a tramp stamp that says, “Too fuckable to kill” and THEN they slam a dead cow into your arms and throw you back to Earth.
Get bred, get bread
