And Then There are Days

There will be days when it doesn't seem to be worthwhile. Hopefully, these days are few and far between. Maybe we haven't gotten the readers we had hoped to get. Maybe we haven't gotten the comments we hoped. Maybe we just need a little encouragement. Unfortunately, it is up to us to find our own encouragement.

It may be that we need to share some of our earlier drafts with select people to get some feedback. Of course, when you share with friends and family, they are sometimes too easy to impress. It might be better to seek out a fellow writer and ask for some instant feedback.

As convenient as bogs are, if you don't get feedback, you don't know whether you're on the right track. All it takes is for one person to acknowledge that what you say does something for them. All it takes is one simple comments saying they enjoyed reading what you've written. It doesn't take much.
