Wow!!!!

Something just fucked with me the hard way...and I am not talking about last nights episode. I was just reading a blog that I recently discovered and there was a statement that stopped me in my tracks.
The statement included a scenario where an individual accidentally stopped by a blog and while reading it she/he discovers it's not good. She describes it as words being incomprehensible, riddled with bad grammar and misspelled words. She goes on too writing how instead of being a nameless character, the story line is about you....and in the end she just couldn't bare the thought of continuing anything with this individual...she claimed herself to be hyper-critical, superficial and intolerant. But she just couldn't continue...
That fucked me up in so many ways. I can say as a newbie to this whole erotic writing world, I have many insecurities. When writing for friends and family everyone will say okay. Or tell you how talented you are. But you are taking criticism from people who are not only bias but who don't have much experience in the field.
Not to say I don't have educated people who surround me. That's far from the truth...I know people with masters degree and even some with Ph. D's (do not mock me if I didn't abbreviated this right) but all the same it's nothing like being in a class or place with people of similar interest. Sometimes you find that not only are you surrounded by like minded people, but many are superior to your knowledge...Now I know I complain allot. Maybe I need a dom to tell me how good of a pet I am....lol.
But that shit really fucked with me. So fuck it I am going to write it out.
I am not sure if I am sincerely looking for validation for my supposedly creation, but I know there is something I am looking for. Maybe I really need to step back and make amends with my naivety and start embracing the fact this is a learning experience and it can only get better.

The fact is this, you write because its a self thing people who dont you can be critical but who cares, they dont know you.. Yo down play those who do know you. I believe they are the only ones who can judge you,
