I'm glad feedback helped you.

Exactly one day after I was reflecting that my writing was not useful to anyone anymore

I've been feeling similarly about my writing lately.

It's weird. Today, I published a chapter on the fic I've been working on that I wrote up over the weekend. Someone wrote a positive review. And instead of being happy, I'm just left wondering "Why?" And I know it's terrible and ungrateful of me to think like that, but that's how it is. I didn't get any kind of ego boost. I kinda wish I had. At the same time, I was debating as to whether or not to quit this story entirely, and now I'm thinking that maybe I should at least so it to the end. So, that's something.
