"Do you ever think, `My god, what have I started?'" Who has time? (And why does this make me think of a Talking Heads song?) The job of a story is to be seen by others. If no one ever sees it it does not fulfill its purpose. I generally don't really look at this as personal approbation, rather as a sense that the story has been seen, and it's good enough that people enjoy discussing it and arguing over it and debating it. Which is the point: to initiate discussion. If it does that, than I can't be anything other than deleriously happy. jms |
