Damn, this was good! I could relate to almost all of it, and the one thing that is identical thoughts to me is:
I am my own worst critic, so when others bring in their "acidic" criticism which is probably intended to get me down, I laugh. I laugh because I have already told myself a worse version of that.
Yeah, I know this pretty well! If you ever decided you want to write a book and get it into Amazon, well, I can help you with that. It's actually easier than you think. The hardest part is liking your own writing enough to feel that it deserves to be purchasable by others.......
This part kills me. I start most post and never finished it due to deeming it not steemit-worthy. How can I now write for Amazon when most of work are stopped before I even begin? I am trying to go easy on myself so I can at least write the little I can. I'll surely take up your kind offer if I could stop beating myself up long enough to write something that has a semblance of being "purchasable". Thank you for your most kind contribution and support. It means the world to me. Thank you.
You almost have a complete book on steemit @greenrun. I think i mentioned it in a previous post about a collection of your short stories, with a catchy name and you could be the next semi big thing. Pre release story should definitely be Eunuch, that will pull people in and want to read more. I am sure you have enough "little" stories to make a big book with a few different chapter sections. Just promise when you get big you won't forget us little guys, the ones that like to read.
The last paragraph made me very happy and I type this with a smile. There is no way I would forget steemit and all my awesome friends here if I made it bigger. You guys are like family, people from where I'm from, never abandons family. Thanks for the encouragement and support. I appreciate it.
