No question but a comment. I'm very sorry. I'm sure writing was your dream/passion, and you obviously have the ability to be creative or else you never would've gone anywhere with it. It sucks to have your dream come true and then be vomited back in your face.

I imagine it was an incredible hit to your self esteem, and that sucks a lot. I doubt I impart any life lessons here but, it should have taught you that you do in fact have great potential. Something within you inspired people to believe in you to a fault. I think you'll find your place, even if it isn't the place you immediately envisioned yourself in.

I think every creative person wants to be a writer at some point. Every songwriter wanted to be a poet, every poet wanted to write an epic, etc. While not completely true, I believe the written word has a power over us as humans that is undeniable, and a sort of sirens call for anyone who is creative at heart.

Anyway, good luck. I hope that if your heartstrings find another tune they adore that you won't let this failure force you into being too afraid to try again.

Violence and early death. Poverty and that stress are up there with addiction and heart disease. I hope this takes off. Blessed be.

Oh, look at Captain obvious. That feel good? Stating the "duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"? Of fucking course they hope for more business you cynical shit sandwich.

Science, bitch! That's just cool. How are you two holding up? I'm sure it's incredibly stressful for you both.

Awesome, I'm happy for you both! Congratulations! :)
