Thanks for responding—I wasn’t sure how those words of mine would land. I truly believe the questions/advice you were asking of your readers came from a humble and sincere place in your heart. But, I don’t think you need the advice of others. Like I said, your are getting the answers from the only place that truly matters—your True Self.

A quote I love and try to live by seems apropos here and originated with Marianne Williamson: “Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so that others won’t feel insecure around you.”

Don’t play small. To me, this equals “be loud, proud, and unapologetic when it comes to writing who you are.” There will be way too many critics and non-believers, even haters out here. You don’t need to invite them, especially as they (we) are strangers to you, to offer their critique.

As long as you are sincere, and proud of your own work, and don’t care about your analytics or paid subscribers (because then you have competing, artificial interests) then you are pleasing the only audience member, an audience of one, that matters: yourself.

WRITE ON, Dude! You’ve got this!
