Wow, that stings.

1) I try to look at how far I’ve come and dig into what my purpose is. Staying grounding can help you keep going. Also knowing that other’s comments are just their perception of you but don’t tell your story.

2) That’s hard because I think being yourself will attract the people who respond to your work. Some have a very clear vision of their target audience while others want whomever is moved by it.

Staying grounded in my purpose—I like that. I started this because I felt very purpose driven about my writing. I think Jasmine mentioned something to that effect above of asking people why they respond to my work. I think you're right that I don't need to change who I am, but just investigate why people read my work. Thank you for the pep-talk! <3
