You get head for breakfast? Sweet.

Even if those bats actually are flying around your window, you said it in a very cliched way. There are better, more poetic ways to describe that.

Anyway, I know people went after you a little harshly, but you need to stop being so defensive about your work. If you keep up an attitude like that you'll never improve. Don't be so touchy about what you create, loving a piece is a serious mistake, and loving a reputation is death.

You don't have to take every suggestion to heart, but you don't need to justify what you do either.

When it comes to art, no matter how good you are, someone is going to tell you it's crap. Look at the comment, evaluate it, and take what you feel is constructive. There's always room to improve.

If you want to get really good you need to strike that balance between a healthy ego, and being a self-involved twit.
