hey Matt, wasn't it you or someone much like you that said you haven't succeeded at something until you have people that don't like you? If it wasn't you then yea! You know you're a success when you have a contingent of people that can't stand you.. What matters is that the contingent of people that can stand you is larger than the one that can't

You can stand me? That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me!

lol

I sooooo wish there was a "like" button on DS!!
Matt, I think we need to fish you or send you on your own fishing expedition. Alternatively, I know a great book that talks about how deal with things that make you feel inherently bad about yourself and things you can do to help change your thinking about yourself. The only concern is, that you might end up throwing it across the room and that might also make you feel bad about yourself!

Oh, it's not like that--it's the typical feelings everyone else here had--"I know this is good, but I'm not sure I'm good enough to be part of it." It's not a rational or pervasive belief, just a fleeting nag once in a while. I think as LTS build momentum, that will diminish too.

No book today. Maybe tomorrow....

barely, but yea, I can stand you ;)

What's funny is I re-read that and thought to myself "Oh I hope he took that as a compliment'

And Jezzia, Your book will get there when it's damn good and ready! Just ask your mailman. My mail-lady was really nice and delivered mine two days ago!

"hey Matt, wasn't it you or someone much like you that said you haven't succeeded at something until you have people that don't like you?"

HOLY SHIT...i am very successful!!!!!!!!!

I got mine today! It is beauriful. THe art work is great. I have not read the entire book yet, but I am working on it. I think I will end up giviing this copy away and ordering another one once I have read it. I love the intro and how you talked about each letter. What a gift to someone just starting their journey.

Ok, a clarification Poodle:) I meant if the work you do causes some people not to like you/criticize you, while others think you're doing a great job/you've made a positive impact for someone THAT means your successful in your work.

I'm asking once more: please write reviews of LTS on amazon and BN. A lot of people have said they intend to, but so far BN still only has ONE review on it, total. Amazon has three, but one is just the video slideshow/info, and only two are from other readers. I hate to beg, but let me point out again that the more reviews a product has, the higher the sites will place a product in search results.

Im out of town, but as soon as I return and have some time, I will. Promise!!! B&N, and Amazon both :)

Consider it done :)

I read survivors this weekend.A friend (Rita) loaned it to me and I thought it was wonderful.Thanks Matt.

Uhm..I'm having trouble finding Lts on barnes and noble. I pressed your author page matt and it didn't show up :/

Plus side..I have written for amazon :)
