This is so wonderful Trista. I experienced a huge disappointed around my writing last week too. It was hard to not take it personally. But, I learned a lot from it too. I am learning that I need to write from my heart more, and find out who my authentic self is. When I'm concerned with other people think about my work I get stuck. When I'm concerned with finding out who I am and what makes my heart sing I get happy. And, (as you probably noticed) this week I'm writing a lot more. And, what do you know? I'm happier:) Regardless of what other people think about what I'm writing I'm feeling really good about it. Thanks again for writing this, and I'm sorry for your disappointing news. It does sound like you are making something great out of the situation. I'm certainly trying to make something positive out of mine:)
