Nobody Is Thinking About You

Yes, I know. You are certain that your friends are becoming your enemies; that your editor, agent, publisher, your readers, and your dog are all of the opinion that you have lost your touch, that you have lost your mind, that you have nothing left in the tank. Furthermore, you are convinced that everyone spends two-thirds of every day ridiculing your efforts, your style of dress, commenting on your disintegration, denigrating your work behind your back. I promise you: Nobody is thinking about you. They are thinking about themselves—just like you.
