There is not much worse for the ego than if you work hard on an article and then no one leaves comments after it’s posted.
You just don’t get it.
You put your heart into that writing. You gave all you had to creating that information.
You researched. You listed. You even added a few great jokes. I mean really… who could resist that?
Well, I get it. I really get it.
