The only piece of advice that I can give you is that there are people that won't like your work. It's whether or not you take those comments to heart, or just keep writing. I understand the whole double-checking things with people but I've learned from my past experiences that you can't believe everything that is said to you. Some people might say they like your work to your face, and then turn around and make fun of it to others. I totally agree with you Bench. While I like Shakesphere, the language style almost confuses me. I guess I'm trying to say that if you think your writing is good, then keep on writing. Try not to let others drag you down because then you're stuck in a deep dark hole and that's not fun.
Well, that's my two cents, take it or leave it.
