I hear you and am right there with you. I rarely have others review my work before I publish it. They also can't seem to find that 5 minutes in their life to give me a hand. So, I do my own editing and am satisfied that I said what i wanted to and move on. And I write now for me. Sure I want to be famous and have lots and lots of readers. But that doesn't happen I am still speaking my mind. And those who care will read. Those who don't, oh well.

As for you and your pieces, you know from our correspondence that i am a big fan. Keep writing. I look forward to your articles and would lose something if they were gone.
