Tumbleweed

So. How does everyone stay positive when pretty much all you get is tumbleweed blowing past your fic, and sometimes not even then - the ancient spider webs have caught that one and only tumbleweed first... It's one of these things, I know lots of encouraging things I'd say to someone else, but it's hard when it's you (and by you, I mean me...). Anyway, what are are everyone's positive takes that get then through a quiet patch? Thank you.
