Ego board

[Dante]

I have no confidence in my abilities so I start with low expectations. I've learned over the years to suppress my pride and be open to criticism, as such rejection is in some ways a friend.

I've had two reviews so far on my short story, and am over the moon with them. My belief in my writing has grown nicely.

Can you post them, Perp?

Well not that I want to blow my own trumpet... but as you asked:

Wow . . . I mean, WOW!

You probably all know I'm not generally a fan of fantasy, but this -- this is art. A work of singular beauty, even when it's ugly.

I'll be looking up this author's other work -- and hoping to see more of it here!

Read this story. You won't be sorry.


I was unsure when the story started out. The narrative seemed too long. But the last three paragraphs really turned it around for me - and everything came together to make sense. I saw where I had made some assumptions that weren't correct, so the ending was worth the wait. I'm not really into fantasy but this one was just plain friendly.

Wow! Brilliant stuff, worth printing out and pinning up!

I just printed a motivational sign today, to get me more focused. It's nothing as inspiring as people actually expressing admiration for my work.

It states:


WRITE
If you can't write, EDIT.
If you can't edit, READ.


Ironically, in posting this I am already failing.

Although by posting this you are writing - just not your WIP - so technically you aren't failing

I'm far to modest to do that.

(Besides the printer does not print as big as they would need t be )
