Hey people of #AMMWaiting. 
Quick thread on how to cope with the stress of the final days pre-announcement. I've heard from several mentors that the announcement may come a little later than many expected. 1/9

If you're like me, you can hyperfixate on expectations and having those expectations go unmet can send you spiraling. So I wanted to spread this info. Prepare yourselves emotionally for the announcement to be delayed a little bit. 2/9
The creators and mentors of #authormentormatch #AMM are more than generous with their time and energy, and they may need that extra time to get all the ducks in a row. So the announcement may come Thursday or perhaps even later. 3/9
Remember, no matter how tempting it may be, this is NOT AMMO FOR COMPLAINING. I just know from personal experience how I tend to hyperfixate on things like dates/deadlines and I want the best for y'all's emotional/mental well-being. And it isn't just me... 4/9
I'm not the only one who cares about your mental/emotional well-being. I've been keeping up with these mentor's feeds and you want to know what they all have in common? They care about you. They don't want this program to overwhelm you. They don't want you to burn out. 5/9
This is an awesome opportunity to prove that we know how to roll with the punches. (A skill we'll need in this industry.) So, some ideas on how to deal with the stress of the final lead-up to the announcement.... 6/9
-Join us in the #AMMWaiting party! Daily prompts from your truly!
-Prep a tweet/thread for if you don't get chosen. Congratulate the winners. Thank the amazing mentors. Losing is a chance to prove you can take rejection while cheering for others when they have success. 7/9

-Go back and look at your AMM project and copy/paste all the parts you're particularly proud of. I know you have them. Paste them in a separate document that you can look at any time you need a reminder of just how astounding you are. 8/9
-Give yourself some self-care. Binge Netflix. Video games. Do a puzzle. Pet a dog. Whatever. Treat yourself in a way that will leave you refreshed, renewed, and ready to move forward. 9/9
Best of luck and please watch after yourselves!
