Then I started papering the wall with them. That made it fun and OK. It takes a long time to develop a thick skin. Being a Bostonian I am familiar with Faith's problems with the media. No one has a sense of humor when it comes to Jesus.

I think we all have these possibly defeating moments and as someone very wise once said to me, if you're not making someone angry, you're not doing your job.<BR/><BR/>best,<BR/>RachelRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00737660738302967779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23281379.post-1162916703088984592006-11-07T08:25:00.000-08:002006-11-07T08:25:00.000-08:00Oy, can I relate to this.

D'oh.<BR/><BR/>I got one really nasty email back about how long-winded I was and how could I call myself a writer, blah blah blah.<BR/><BR/>I think the best thing for you to do (other than cultivate a thicker skin) is teach your readers about RSS feeds and how to subscribe to your blog. That way every new post goes to them.<BR/><BR/>(If you want, I'll even guest write it for you.)<BR/><BR/>All the best!<BR/><BR/>LeahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
