There's a meme that says "the horrors persist but so do I" and maybe it's dark, but I've always found it kind of comforting. Even when things are bad, we're still here, and that's not nothing.

I love your writing, and I'm just one more datapoint here to tell you that I (like every other longterm author I know) have gone through terrible bleak stretches where I was convinced I would never sell again - the longest of them starting right after my first trilogy was published - but that conviction was never true, actually. It definitely doesn't say anything about your writing! This is just an incredibly hard career and it takes so much stubborn persistence to push through the dips along the way.
