Sometimes I feel the same way, but eh, what can ya do? I'm sure plenty of praise will come some day when we complete more writing and artwork.
I already have a VERY good memory of my best friend who now lives in California looking utterly shocked after reading the conclusion to a novel I wrote. Due to the way I had set up the plot, he never saw the big twist coming, hehe.
Honestly speaking, when I hear about people who went through divorces from hell, had their kids taken away from them, or can only see them once every 2 weeks, I'm quite glad I don't have anything like that creating added suffering in my life.
