Thank you. :)
I think the issue we all have, as a human species, is we are effected more by negativity than positivity. It's a flaw we have. So the negative comments can sometimes kick you back a few pegs more than a positive comment pushing you forward. Especially if you are like me with a slight lack of self-confidence (it's something I am working on personally).
But as you said to me, keep chasing your dream! And absolutely, keep learning. I don't have much in terms of formal education in writing, I did extremely well at school in my English classes, but I never went above school level. I've done a lot more in education since, especially with my BSc, but it's not an English subject, it's a science subject - although I have learnt critical writing! Haha.
