I, too, am very reluctant to ask for help. My sons, especially the younger one, are always ready to help, but I don't ask them unless they ask me if I need this or that to be taken care of.
I hope your daughter heals and feels a lot better so you won't have to worry so much. I can see how difficult it is to be a parent especially in your case. Hang in there!
I like the idea that some of the proceeds go to charities. I wish that happened here but Nevada doesn't participate in the lotteries available. I think it has a lot to do with the casino's not wanting any competition.
Describe a time when your work was criticized. How did you react?
I’ve had two really harsh reviews since I joined WdC. Funnily enough, both were from the same person. The first one he told me he couldn’t sleep and had decided to look for a short story to read, maybe to put him back to sleep.💤 Anyway, he was so incensed by my terrible punctuation he really let me have it, with both barrels. I was really upset, not by the fact he was trying to teach me something but the way he went about it. It felt like an attack. The second time he did the same thing was for a story for which I’d received an awardicon. I’m not saying it was perfect, grammar wise, but it certainly didn’t deserve his ire. The last time didn’t upset me, I simply used his obvious knowledge and thanked providence I wasn’t in a classroom setting with him.
