A Small Thanks
>> Tuesday, April 26, 2011
First, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who's randomly sent me Store gifts lately. I rarely get the funds to spend on such 'frivolous' things such as Simpoints, so it makes me very happy when people think of me when deciding how to spend theirs. Won't list them out, because there's been numerous--even some from people I don't recognize--the last few weeks, nor do I like pointing fingers, but I feel weird not expressing my gratitude somehow.
I also want to toss a small thank you out again to everyone who takes the time and read and comment on my story. I won't lie--I'm writing it for myself, not for you guys--but the many kind words I recieve do far more than inspire me to continue writing, and for that I'm grateful.
I'll take any small measure of happiness I can find, with warmth in my heart. <3

Biggggg mega hugs and Kermit Flails.
Sorry you aren't at your best.
Your story is amazing. No two ways about it.
I really really wish I could say that I write for me. But it's not the whole truth. I need some feedback or I go a wee bit neurotic about the whole thing. Actually bitch mode from hell may be slightly more accurate as a description.
Thanks, Pibkins. <3 I really do appreciate it. Trust me, I'm not trying to fish more any more compliments or anything, I just have been feeling lousy lately--especially tonight--and when I feel lousy, it's always best to focus on the good things... And I have a dozen or two really great things to focus on, and that's all you guys. :)
It's hard not to focus on feedback. I'm the same way with art, but writing I've always felt more detatched from because it's a very personal thing. I guess I should feel lucky in that regard--but perhaps in time you'll learn to enjoy what you write in a way that doesn't require a third party.
Aww and more big hugs coming from this direction too! lol I think we all write our stories for ourselves but it is so wonderful to have an audience that reads and comments, because we do need that to sometimes. :)
Lucky you receiving store gifts too!
*squeeeze*!
It is nice to have an audience, for sure--but the comments, the audience, doesn't mean much to me in terms of my confidence in my writing... But it gives me confidence in *myself*. I sell myself short way too often, and knowing I'm capable of something reminds me that it's okay to wake up the next morning.
You all are really such wonderful people though, and I feel lucky that I had enough talent in writing to be surrounded by your awesomeness. :)
At this point in my life, I can say with confidence that I do require feedback on writing.
I can draw for my own amusement. I can play at piano for my own entertainment. I can take photographs with no need for feedback.
Writing is the one that I need someone to talk to me about. Or ... let's just say it gets ugly. :)

Having an Eeyore moment? Day? Week? Month? Try to channel your inner Pooh and all will be well. I'd avoid the Tigger stage until you've mellowed out with Pooh for a while.
*moreluv*
*snug* Thanks, Chrysame. :) Not quite Eeyore-ish, but close. I should hit Pooh-stage as soon as I fully wake up, but that may take a while. Sooo sleeeppy.
Many many hugs and shmooches to you! <3
*Tigger Bounces* for you!
Awww, Kaleeko. Can't say as I've ever gotten donations from strangers, so that must feel pretty awesome!
I'm glad that your readers help you feel better, but I'm sorry you've been feeling lousy!
