To Be Honest

To be honest, I don't believe most bitter writers start out as bitter people. They entered this game as eager and idealistic storytellers and over the course of time were disappointed by rejection and dejected by lack of notoriety or worn down by the emotional toll of it all. Not for wanting to stop being creative, a bitter writer is often driven to question: is it worth it? Why do I keep putting myself out there if no one cares or bothers to notice? So, the attitude changes and what is left is an ornery old coot ready to pounce.

I can't be bothered with people who click links, but never buy! Hashtag So. Hashtag Over. Hashtag This!   Signing o...

It's time to remove from my existence the things that no longer work and/or cause me misery. Something used to be fun and now it's now. Remove it. I used to like doing this hobby and don't anymore. Stop doing it. Yes, that means pulling out of projects. Leaving social media groups and profiles and pages. Whatever it is, the goal is to declutter so that I can reduce the frustration.
