I hope you know the only thing that can actually harm you here is that curiosity you feel to see how long you can remain as broken as you are.

self-assurance and self-reliance
Relying on myself to consistently keep myself on track and stay focused was challenging. Through this experience I’ve figured out systems to keep myself personally on track and onto a schedule. This has carried over into my team narrative work as well. I can work independently without aid for extended periods of time now. It’s awesome.
Not only that, but being being almost an entirely single dev project, I’ve had to be apart of the machine that a writer normally wouldn’t be. It’s important to see all sides of this kind of project and I feel like it’s given me a greater understanding of limitations I need to be in mind of when writing projects like this.
