Anyway, I thought I was disqualified from the whammy so I didn't bother. The past two weeks haven't been kind to me Whammy-wize. I'm afraid I've got Post-Whammy-Performance-Anxiety. <br /><br />The possibility of failure is now crippling to me... It's horrible.<br /><br />And I'll go out on a limb and say the answer for this post's question is actually Wookies.Rusty Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887821877521181811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25097758.post-42096911898241240272012-04-30T11:42:30.906-06:002012-04-30T11:42:30.906-06:00But back to your question...

I don't really want to be that. I want to have made a difference somewhere. And I wouldn't mind being remembered later. Seriously, I hope school children in 40 years are being tortured by having to read what I've written. But, even if not, I know that there are -some- kids who think my book is the best book ever, and I have to kind of go off of that even when it feels like nothing is happening anywhere. Like when I have months like March when I didn't sell a single copy of my book. Not that April is much better.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25097758.post-25425802043470240522012-04-30T11:16:21.791-06:002012-04-30T11:16:21.791-06:00Wait!

But I still wonder, sometimes: I used to host a college radio show that had an extremely limited audience. How limited? We wondered. We had a contest once where caller 10 was to get some free albums, and nobody called in.<br /><br />Nobody.<br /><br />After that, I'd go do my radio show every Saturday morning and read the PSAs and play the music, but I wondered: Am I doing this for myself?<br /><br />I like to think that my idea reached at least one person.<br /><br />@PT: Why not get your sisters into the Blogathon? (As someone who doesn't talk to 99% of his family, excuse my inability to deal with family dynamics.)Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25097758.post-91468434883968699252012-04-30T10:10:27.523-06:002012-04-30T10:10:27.523-06:00Over 900 page views and two comments.

Face it - we're going to keep throwing out ideas whether anyone's going to read them or not. It's what creative people do.<br /><br />Your post about Celtic goddesses caught my eye precisely because tomorrow is May Day/Beltane, a traditional Celtic holiday. We're celebrating the fertility of the god and goddess? <br /><br />Which goddess? Doesn't matter - there's really only one in European mythology. She's the mother of all living things. (As keeper of the animals, she's called Lady of the Wild Things.) She gives birth to us, she's there for us when we die and she takes us to the afterlife, where there's always the possibility of reincarnation.Erin O'Riordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14829574740027964039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25097758.post-38772883351713558512012-04-30T09:02:03.890-06:002012-04-30T09:02:03.890-06:00Interesting musings.
