I'm not sure I'm going to be writing anymore. I'm feeling kind of frustrated about it, and that is a key sign I need to back away. I know my reasons are ridiculous, but I think I would feel a little bit better about it if I got more than a handful of comments, or got recced. I know that I say that all the time, and I know it isn't a real measure of the kind of writer I am or any other writer for that matter. It's a competitive market, and I'm just not sure I want to keep competing.
I put a lot into my last long piece, it was really personal and addressed how I was feeling a while back, and I don't know if I can keep putting myself out there for the time being...... which is how I feel about pretty much everything right now.
