Yes, I think we are. :) I hear you, I'm the same way. I'm a simple writer - you won't find complex plots or settings in my work. Doesn't make me bad, just makes me less... complicated. And then I read something and want to cry. They say not to compare yourself to others, but how can you not, especially when you read as much as I do?

Why do we do this to ourselves?

I know you do and I love you for it. And you're so right. We have to support each other! I'm here for ya, babe!
