"I am a sensitive person and take everything to heart as I feel it is a reflection of how well I am doing." This sounds like me and my issues Jo Ann. I actually stopped reading the comments on my stories, because negative talk and rejection is a trigger for me. I just write and publish, and save my comments for other writers' stories. I think you have just as much a right to complain as the rest of us, and WE ALL DO IT. But some of us actually have more reason to do so, like you and me with over 600 stories. I only have 2.3k followers (close to 2.4) but just like you, I wish more of them would actually READ :-)
