And many best-selling authors were actually spurred on by those who denigrated them - I saw a video with quite a few whose motivation came primarily from "I'll show them!!"

Perhaps you could work that into your next story.

I never put too much stock in them since some peeps are just bitter to the very core regardless of what attributes a story may have.<br />The rejections are tough.. I know, cuz I have a slew of them myself. But I tend to look at them as my wake, meaning at least I'm pressing on. That's all we can do... and it sounds like you're doing the same. :)PK HREZOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650153097981426833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776872181596975599.post-36806580388601724582012-01-05T01:51:07.187+01:002012-01-05T01:51:07.187+01:00An excellent post.

I agree with you - <i>everybody's</i> a writer. <br /><br />Good luck w/ that teetering tree and I hope your neighbors get their house righted soon. <br /><br />Insecurities are indeed suffocating.
