Any writer/copywriter who’s ever published a book, sold an article, or launched an ad/direct response campaign understands the post-campaign letdown.
You wait for the world to shower you with praise – proof that the universe finally “gets” your genius – and then… nothing happens.
No reviews. No letters to the editor. Or an “average” response rate.
You might as well be dead.
In that vein, Underground Fave Writer Elizabeth Royte pointed me at a hilarious video, and mentioned her New York Times Book Review article comparing the post-publication blues to Kubler’s Stages of Grief. Don’t miss either.
Great post and video. It definately hits home. It’s quite a challenge to come up with blog ideas, but what I find the most frustrating is not receiving any feedback. I’m trying not to take it personal! Thanks for the laugh!

Hi Wendy,
You will hear from many people from GI.
Jerri Fiolek is my friend from New Bern and I know your parents from church. I just came home from a Bible Study and talked to your mom. I do remember you from high school. Both Dave and Carrie live in the Raleigh area. We were there for Christmas.We’re going to explore Wilmington and Greenville this winter.
Stay connected,
God Bless,
Mrs. Dusenbury

Hello, Mrs. Dusenbury,
Jerri is a nice lady and I remember you too along with Dave graduating with me. I’m happy to hear that Dave and Carrie are doing well and I hope that you enjoy your trip to NC!
What a small world! Since my post last year I’ve received a lot of positive feedback from people on New Bern Now’s blog, guestbook, and website.
I wish you safe travels. I’ll be back in February to visit my folks.
Take care,
Wendy
