Well, let me put it another way, then. I'm continuously amazed and grateful about the number of people who read my stories, compliment them, and ask for more. I rarely feel the stories rate the praise, or that I can compare to some of the brilliant authors here at GA. But it's great to strive for improvement and have my readers point out when I do better or give them pleasure with my efforts.
I also think there are some very good authors here on GA who do not get the attention they deserve, and I'd prefer them to be the ones promoted, rather than those of us who have plenty of GA friends and readers and fans. In other words, you all give me so much in return for my stories, that wanting more promotion or attention would make me feel greedy. Silly, I know, but there it is.
