Notes

Thicker Skin, where are you?

vacuums, they suck goodI don’t take criticism well. At all. Now that I am really focusing on the freelance stuff, I am submitting to tonnes of publications and finding my work scrutinized by various editors from various backgrounds. Leo that I am, I bask in the accolades and spit venom at those who dare question me. I know that if I’m going to put myself out there, I have to learn suck it up, but some days sucking it up, well, sucks.

On the other hand, what if everyone just started sucking it up? Really just sucking the crap out of it. Everyone could say whatever they wanted all the time with no repercussions. Think how much more entertaining life could be.

As an aside, freedom of speech is a real thing. Threatening violence against women is frowned upon. Look into it.
