Anytime I'm in the dumps or receive a rejection on a sub, I pull that out & remind myself that there are fans out there, people who love what I do.<br />Thanks so much for sharing. I got a big fat form rejection this morning, so this blog had perfect timing. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701924930702018352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655925037104310209.post-24065782376024889352012-03-12T19:27:08.643-04:002012-03-12T19:27:08.643-04:00Thank you Cherose : ) You warm my heart with your ...Thank you Cherose : ) You warm my heart with your kind words.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Everything you said.
The...YES. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Everything you said.<br /><br />The longer I write, the more I become convinced that the only people who understand writers (and their lives) are other writers. Writers seem to be spectacularly unsupported by most of the people around them. They write it off as a hobby, or something that takes time away from their other responsibilities, or other even more negative things.<br /><br />The writers I've met online are wonderful, amazing people. Their support and friendship have gotten me through days where I was ready to sink into a very dark hole. I am beyond grateful I've found these people: a whole community who GETS it, who gives a shit, and will encourage you to keep going no matter what. <br /><br />This is a fantastically insightful and positive post. Good on ya, Carolyn. *huuuug* :)Jennifer Gracenhttp://jennifergracen.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655925037104310209.post-24882988417721986252012-03-09T08:04:17.059-05:002012-03-09T08:04:17.059-05:00LM that can be true, and we can easily get caught ...LM that can be true, and we can easily get caught up in our work, to the point we claim we don't have time for others.
