Veronica8 I know. It's all about for how long one can manage continuing despite the low (or maybe no) response. It's hard. Especially for the beginners. I remember, when I had just ventured into writing - I needed people to respond so that I could write further. It was a desperate need, which I believe is quite natural for a lot of us thrive on the response but over the period, my perception has changed and now, it doesn't affect me the way it used to do. Gone is the silent complaining attitude and what is left is only gratitud - for everyone who invests any amount of time in my stuff.
