I don't post here as much as I should because I'm usually too busy actually writing to sit around, thinking and talking about writing - not to mention that I have stopped reading my writing resources the past few months because I kept reading all these "Golden Rules" that were stifling me.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you agree with the advice. After all I've been through lately, this whole issue seems a million miles away, but I recall the frustration I was feeling upon rereading it.<BR/><BR/>I hope no one takes these peoples' "advice" seriously, even if they really are very bad at what they do. Keep plugging away and get your work out there! If a whole <I>lot</I> of people suggest you try something else, then you should really rethink your intended career, but if it is just your dad or your brother or your neighbor or someone like that, thank them for their observations and exclude them from the people with whom you share your work from then on!<BR/><BR/>That kind of constant mockery and negativity will definitely impact your ability to focus on your work and bring your "A-game" to the table. At the very least it will shake your confidence.<BR/><BR/>Either way, you don't need it.Manodogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362585939645849627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353303267958769636.post-36588434152548848812007-08-16T13:17:00.000-05:002007-08-16T13:17:00.000-05:00Hey Manodogs-this is Amber(ammorton), You are so r...Hey Manodogs-this is Amber(ammorton), You are so right with this post. People like that try sooo hard to pull others down with them, so that they feel better about themselves and their own sad situations. My husband calls this the "crawdad theory". It is their own self esteem that they are trying to repair by doing this. You have a good head on your shoulders and this is an honest living you do, and you know what your doing and do it well. Your life wont be measured by the amount of money you made, but by the fact that you didn't sit on your ass and do nothing, you put your talents to work for you, as well as did many good deeds for those who needed your help, and if your happy with all of it, F*** everyone else, and what they think. Kudos to you. You keep doing what your doing- its great!! <BR/>P.S. I couldn't get this to post with out using the anonymous identity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
