Best career advice not already mentioned - Take time out to fill your creative well. Whether it’s going to a museum or hiking a new trail or watching a live performance, get outside your own head and experience new things that may inspire you. #kidlitchat

It can be hard to NOT to compare yourself w/others, esp when browsing social media. To avoid getting sucked into that self-destructive rabbit hole, I try hard to focus on enjoying my own journey at my own pace. My advice? Find your own joy. You may be luckier than you think. #DebbieOhiComics #KidLit
A four-panel comic strip titled "You May Be Luckier Than You Think" depicting various insecurities of writers and illustrators. In the first panel, a person with long dark hair worries about not getting published and envies published authors. In the second, a person with short curly hair frets over potential bad reviews and envies bestsellers. The third panel shows a person with tight curls concerned about their second book's sales compared to their first, envying established authors. In the last panel, a person with lighter hair worries about readers losing interest and envies new talent. Each panel illustrates the grass-is-greener mentality, with the characters expressing envy towards others in their field. The artist's signature, Debbie Ridpath Ohi, is visible at the bottom.
