I needed this today. I got an acceptance email last week and a rejection email this week. Guess which one is on my mind. I say that I'm not looking for fame, but how will I know that I'm good if someone doesn't tell me? I know that I'm getting better and that's what really matters. That I don't quit. Thank you for this series. It's profound!
Great piece, Elissa! So wise. And the Cheryl Strayed quotes rock too. Keep writing this stuff about writing. You have so much to say, Elissa. To me that's the point.
Jesus Christ! Could you stop with the brilliance? Could you stop poking a stick into my heart until it's tenderized? Seriously, best piece ever.
