I've had several DMs, always with the questions and insistence on continuing the conversation. Makes me wary of following back such accounts.

You're right, there's no better feeling than that.

I keep feedback screenshots and emails in a folder for ego boost when I feel like I'm not good enough.

Blusky has better engagement than Twitter. It's unfortunate that Twitter is full of "writers say hi" and follow backs with immediate dms trying to market their services. Its exhausting.

Great! The end justifies the adventure.

You jump right in. I like that. 😀 How do you untangle your mess and does the plot fit in?
