You've said often enough how much you enjoy and admire my writing. You even dressed up as one of my characters for a costume party.
Does it help at all to know that I enjoy and admire YOUR writing? Weird creepy-ass western, how cool is that? Handled deftly and skillfully BY YOU.
I understand self-pity. I do. Trust me. I was not always the smooth confident word-warrior I am today. Ask Arin and t! how bad I was, if you don't believe me.
THIS IS SELF-PITY. STOP.
You are a writer. You couldn't give up writing if someone paid you to stop.
