Back in NoJoMo for 2013, I listed writing as one of the things that used to scare me, but I\u2019ve gotten over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also despaired about how bad some of my old stuff sucked. My writing still sucks. My blog still sucks. But I really don\u2019t care. I write in my journal\/blog\/diary\/whatever for me<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever feedback I get is lagniappe. I do go back and read my drivel on occasion. I try to remember what my state of mind was, and analyze it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Was I wrong to have felt the way I did? 2013 kinda drives that last one home; had I known how I was about to be unceremoniously dumped, I wouldn\u2019t have been trying as hard as I was to be a good \u201cteam player.\u201d And I wouldn\u2019t have been as complacent as I was away at Shmoocon 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Too often the past few years I\u2019ve sold myself short. How many tesn of thousands fo dollars has that cost me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m certainly not the same go-getter I was in, say, 2008. But there isn\u2019t a reason I should be earning less money than I was then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Back in NoJoMo for 2013, I listed writing as one of the things that used to scare me, but I\u2019ve gotten over it.
