When you tell someone that you feel ugly, and they don’t respond, or worse yet, they agree with you, where do you put that? It is quite the same thing to say, “I read good writing once, and it wasn’t mine; my writing sucks.” They smile and respond with, “Don’t worry, it takes a lot of practice.”
Is there a category for filing those remarks?
All writers feel that the tomes and poems they produce are worth at least one read, or one good comment. Don’t they? Don’t you?
Well, if you’re like me, having no comments at all is worse than outright rejection.
Personally, I would cherish an outright, “You suck,” over the dead silence my writing brings, especially when it comes to friends and family. When I ask if they read a particular posting, I hear, “Oh, sorry, I didn’t! What’s the name of your blog page again?”
(Excuse me! I have to go and decorate. I’m having a pity party today!)
All comments are appreciated, thank you!
