What do you do if even your friends don’t read your work?

2. Dana - November 30, 2009

Then you have to make a lot of enemies, Mark.

love this.

Deezee, thank you. I said it in jest in response to the way that some poets and writers tend not to “count” their friends as “real” readers of their work. That’s kind of sad then you think about it, you know? Why do we hold those we don’t know in higher regard than those we do?
