I really relate to a lot of what you said here. One of the hardest things has been getting my friends and family to support my writing. A few years ago when I tried selling my visual art it felt like something that people were a lot more receptive to than my writing, even though it wasn’t something I felt nearly as passionate about. It’s been frustrating for me and it’s still something that really gets to me sometimes. I try to take solace in the fact that people don’t actually have to take time out of their day to look at art like they do with any type of writing. Your writing is really great, I hope they start to give you a little more recognition soon. Thanks so much for sharing!!
