Dear Barry: I'm so glad that it resonated with you and thank you so much for responding! I love what you said that letting go and releasing to the universe. and I did laugh about the secretly checking numbers - lol - guilt as well!
This is one I'm really struggling with and you wrote it so eloquently. I leaned that I'm going to keep going even if no one reads my work because I just love it too damn much to stop. But I'm having a moment where I'm really fighting myself on it.
I wrote a short story once, and loved it. No one else did, and it was very niche at the time (death, war and such). It took 25 years to find a home where other people could read it.
I think sometimes people read newsletters and forget to like at the bottom of the page, or something hits so profoundly that there aren't enough/the right words. Silence is deafening, but rarely personal.
A very honest piece, thankyou. What has the silence taught me? Like any gift, once we give it, it no longer belongs to us.
It's the same with a treasured piece of writing, once we publish, others will make of it what they will, we have no control.
So I leaned to let it go (secretly though, I still check the numbers).
