Writers bring so much value to the world! Especially poets!

Thank you for reading, Victoria! In my work, I'm with writers every day. Some are clients, some are students, many are friends... And this post was for them, because I see so many who don't realize what treasures they are.

One bad review (among hundreds of good ones) can send a person spiraling. I just wanted to take a moment and address this... As well as the internal value of worth I face all the time.

We must all deal with the self-doubt that adversity brings to us, whether self-inflicted, inflicted by outsiders, or sometimes inflicted by those we love. Rising above the self-doubt and showing courage in the face of adversity helps us determine our true worth as writers, and as human beings. No matter who you are, it takes courage to write, to publish, to price, to face criticism.

Your column brought me beyond the realm of writing and into other areas of my life. Thank you.

We all need to see our value -- in all aspects!

Barb,

You're right that some sites will limit your options if you don't have the ability to discount. BUT... that leads you to be more creative and try other options. And who is to say they aren't as good as the discounts?
