A Bitter Pill Insecure Writers Support Group 6 May 2026

 

 May 6 question - What was the most inspiring feedback you received from readers, including agents, editors, and beta readers?  

I honestly can't remember the last time I received what one might call "inspiring" feedback from anyone. 

I will never have an agent because I don't pursue publication in that manner. I self-publish or submit my own work to small press anthologies. 

An editor's role is not being a cheerleader, it's molding a story into a product that sells. 

I really don't have any readers and don't expect I ever will. I'm pretty much nobody's cup of tea. That knowledge is a bitter pill, but I swallowed it along with a Fukitol, and now I'm determined to write what I want to write regardless of anyone else's opinion.
