I enjoyed the Speaker's honest self-appraisal after her entry in the contest received no acclaim. She teaches ALL of a lesson: Don't get dismayed or give up. An excellent entry for this brand new prompt on FanStory. Rod

KT I can empathize . I have sent my stories to agent after agent to suffer rejection after rejection. Good thing I keep looking at it as a way to improve rather than a chance for self loathing
Well penned. Keep going
God bless

You do not need the approval of others Diana, your work speaks for itself, uniquely chosen words and it is no rejection, just blindness not the part of others, I wish you luck with this contest! And your words most definitely inspire, love Dolly x

This work has reached the exceptional level

Hi, Diane;

It is so hard to tell what will happen in these contests around here. The site-sponsored tests leave the writers with absolutely no clue about how many entries there were OR what the judges are looking at, or for, for that matter.

Never doubt yourself, and do NOT allow this site to diminish your self-esteem.

It simply isn't worth it,

By the way, I loved this poem and I think you NAILED it when you read the requirements of the piece,

    Hi Patty!

    See what happens when I go outside and garden? Digging in that dirt is incredibly cathartic and inspiring!

    Nothing will ever diminish my love of writing, and self-contemplation is good for the soul.

    Thank you for my smile for the day!

    And thank you for your exceptional rating and heartfelt comments...
