She just shared a few ideas and gave you such huge encouragement and motivation. Sometimes we don't know how much our words encourage (or discourage) someone.

I've had the same experience recently. <br /><br />And another helpful thing to keep you writing is an "alpha reader"--someone who keeps you accountable to produce and cheers you on. You keep sending this person pages at regular intervals and they keep telling you they love your work.
