When people encounter something that is even a bit out of the norm for them, they don't know how to react. It could be that you simply read something to them that was not the familiar kind of thing they had been hearing up until that point, and they couldn't see past that to the quality of the work. It's hard not to be discouraged when faced with silence, but I pray that your confidence in your own worth and your writing -- as well as the approval of those who have already pronounced it good -- will help you overcome this temporary hump in the road.<br /><br />And yes, a little ice cream might help, too. ;-)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041301706375455739noreply@blogger.com
