You’ve just poured your heart and soul onto the page. You suffered your inner critic nagging in your ears. You dragged yourself to the computer every day, put your fingers on the keys and made yourself sit there. You turned to other people for encouragement and you persuaded yourself to keep writing. But now that you finished what you started, what comes next?
I write blog posts, which get lots of views, but few "likes". I learned, quite a while back, that the number of likes just depends on how the readers are feeling at the time. Since I write from my heart, it doesn't so much matter what others think.
From a young artist with a deep rejection wound, big heartfelt thanks for this post. I could read a dozen posts on this subject, it's very reassuring. I hope you'll keep sharing about writing into the wind, it's my biggest fear.
Thanks for the heartfelt comment.
I intend to keep writing. It's my favorite thing to do. So glad this meant so much to you.
