This is one of the most fabulous things I’ve read in a while. As a writer, I come across a lot of negativity for my successes. There’s so much jealousy, and yet none of it comes from me. I do not see other people as competition. Support people if you want to be supported in kind. You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.

I did have someone allegedly supporting me but all they did was give me lists of criticism which I beat myself up over. Then when I looked at their work none of their criticism had been taken on board. I can laugh about it now…

There’s a huge difference between support, constructive criticism, and outright criticism. Some people only know how to be critical, they don’t know how to be objective or honest. I have no filter, so I’m either someone’s perfect cup of tea or not, and I’m always okay with that. Have you tried looking into online writer’s groups? There’s one that’s so-so. I can’t say I’d recommend it, but only because I think it’s important that people’s ideas not be stolen and that people all behave with some semblance of respect. If I could figure out how to add a writer’s group to this platform, I’d do it in a heartbeat. I think it would be interesting. 🙂

Hmmmm yes it would be very interesting. For now I am happier working on my own. I produce my own stuff and when I want feedback I will seek it out.

I’ve always worked on my own. I rarely, if ever, seek out the feedback of others, but after 28 years, I know what I’m doing. I know my voice and I know my strengths. I’m available if ever you need a hand, and I mean that in a genuine way.
