Oh, no! No! I didn't think you were begging for attention. I think everyone legitimately feels that way now and then. You put all this work into something that may or may not get read, and it's frustrating.

Now, had you put something along the lines of "I won't post another thing until this gets ten reviews", well, then I'd be handing you a fishing pole to go with your bait, but that isn't what you're doing.

Simply saying "this sucks, what did I do differently this time from other times to change the writer/reader dynamic" isn't a bad thing.

Besides, who doesn't need attention now and then?

Now go pick up a pen and paper, girlie. There's no better therapy than writing therapy!

And remember, you may not always see me, but I'm here. *hugs before I scoot on back to my hidey hole*
