To everyone: Ignore the nay-sayers. You've done more than most of them ever attempted. It's more easily said than done, negative feedback tends to set off a stronger emotional response. Seek feedback from people you know will support you.

I play guitar, for fun. I've once posted a recording. Someone said something mean. It really hurt me somehow, I didn't record anything at all in the following 15 years.

Recently I've been talking a lot with my sister, we both really liked a song so we agreed to record a cover. I've now been working on that for many evenings. I'm sharing the WIP demos with people I know will give me constructive feedback. I keep going. It's more work than I've expected! But it's so much fun.

Don't stop dreaming.

Totally agree, the nay-sayers don't phase me anymore because I enjoy what I am doing, everything else that comes from my work is just a freebie.
