A Thank You
12 years ago
Sometimes I feel like my work isn't good enough. Sometimes I think it's trashy or rubbish. I look at some of my stories that I poured my heart and soul into, and I think "yeah, this is pretty good!", and then that satisfaction is crushed by the story only getting ten views. I know this shouldn't effect me and yet it does. Sometimes it makes me think about quitting writing all together.
But then I look at the 224 watchers I've managed to gain over the seven years I've been on this site. Now, sometimes I think "Only 224 after seven years? Why do I even bother?". But then I have to remind myself that these 224 people actually think I'm worth watching. These people, YOU people, People who include some truly fantastic artists and writers. Artists and writers who are so much better than me. You all think I'm worth waiting for. You all think my work is worth reading.
I know I'm terrible at responding to shouts and comments and all of that, but you 224 people. People who I would like to know better than just names on a screen, people who think my work has value...
Thank you.
You are the people that make me want to write. You are the people who give my work meaning. I can't thank all of you enough for the attention you choose to give. There are so many of you I would like to know, and so many new people I would like to know. Artists and writers who I admire. But for now, Thank you. Thank you all.

Also remember your work comes in stops and starts, not a constant flow which is what people tend to pay attention to - you're doing well! And yes, totally deserve all the attention :)
