This is a good insight into the world of a successful writer.
It is true to say, if we are not getting negative comments, we are not producing enough ourselves. So, it could be said, the more negativity we attract = the more successful we are.
Remember the saying "we cannot please all of the people, all of the time. We can only please some of the people, some of the time." If we try, we will just end up pleasing none of the people, none of the time.
Thanks for your thoughts on this Tim. I know you won't see this because you are still a "recovering" comment reader but thanks anyway.
