I never even had any grand plans for fame or fortune when I started but then suddenly you find yourself comparing and feeling pathetic. Sigh. You have to remind yourself of why you started writing in the first place. Plus,at least you have the balls to send out work to even get a rejection in the first place. That is something that a lot of people (me) can't even do. And you haven't always had rejections. You rock. xoNesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06860187504607445377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-46904733996887221932015-08-09T16:20:40.076-07:002015-08-09T16:20:40.076-07:00I know how you feel but your small readership love...I know how you feel but your small readership loves what you do.

I've been having issues with my blog comments going to spam so I've jumped off the wagon with my blog reading until I work out what the hell is going on. You've had such big changes this year. I saw Nikki share your post about your latest book reviews. You are so well highly regarded in the blogosphere, so please don't think you shouldn't bother. What you do is so very much read and needed. xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01195539977918003393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-32157926651370019582015-08-03T19:29:14.122-07:002015-08-03T19:29:14.122-07:00Keep on trucking on Lydia.
