It's nice to know I'm not alone and it can be overcome!<br /><br />Bekah, I think the skin gets thicker with practise. Receiving criticism (or just form rejections) is never fun, but I like to think it gets a little easier each time. We have to keep focussed on the future and not wrap up all our future happiness in one idea.<br /><br />Loree, isn't the query a nightmare? I don't think mine will ever be 100% right but at some point you just have to put it out there.Charlotte Brentwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241042192422436027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376315497517626756.post-30620172246503487772011-07-16T12:21:28.290+12:002011-07-16T12:21:28.290+12:00Wow!!!

I think I grew out of it as I raised a family of my own. Judgement didn't matter...love, life, family, and faith mattered more.<br /><br />Congrats on putting yourself out there! Best wishes on the querying. We always learn from this process. It's scary and exciting all at the same time. I'm getting ready to query very soon - just trying to get the query letter right.Loree Huebnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845600356878587780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376315497517626756.post-38045023073731189192011-07-15T13:38:31.296+12:002011-07-15T13:38:31.296+12:00I have a lot of issues rooted in my sense of worth...I have a lot of issues rooted in my sense of worth, so yep, you can bet I struggle with being judged... I know I've definitely grown, even if I still struggle with putting myself out there.<br /><br />And Toyin, getting to that point is my goal!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07417506803880646773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376315497517626756.post-52022301468169074072011-07-15T06:07:47.385+12:002011-07-15T06:07:47.385+12:00Knowing God accepts me the way that I am helps to ...Knowing God accepts me the way that I am helps to never really care what anyone else thinks of me, thanks for sharing.Toyin O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08429675861306256504noreply@blogger.com
