Is this any good? Is it fun to read? Most of what I write is salted with cliches and old saws which are only of interest to me because they come out of my mind and land on the paper. But I am looking for the objective herein.
Cindy likes it most of the time. Kate finds amusement in it sometimes. I think even my sister reads it from time to time. I have received a few comments, most of them positive, some odd. About what I expected.
Nevertheless, I still wonder. I assume every writer, who is not covered up with ego and a love for his abilities, has these moments. As I said in my title, I don't know if it is worthwhile enough to keep going or to kill it dead right here and now. As the Clash sang, "Should I stay or should I go now?"
I realize that a lot of this depends on how creative I am feeling at the time. I also realize that my creativity waxes and wanes depending on a lot of factors. Nevertheless, it would be nice to know that someone unmarried or related to me thinks this stuff is worthwhile.
It is a mix, I know, and some may like it and some may not. That is the way of the world. I suppose that the best you can ask for is to say that even if I am not held in high regard, or loved, by the masses, it would be nice to be respected. So that one might say, "I don't like him, but I can see that he is a good writer."
A grudging respect, that's what I want.
