Apathy or Unrealistic?

I’ve found myself feeling a little despondent about the review of the recent production of Denim. I posted a comment on the online review, making sure that one of the actors got a mention that was not included in the review.

I then posted here about what I thought of the review and messaged all the members of My Facebook group to read the review and make a comment.

So far there has only been one other comment – and that was by someone very close to me.
This has left me a little paranoid. Why aren’t there more comments? Did they think that this is a far description of the play? (I think not, given the comments I’ve seen on Facebook profiles.) Do people not care about the play?

Or am I just being unrealistic? It’s only a play after all. It was a night’s entertainment and nothing more. Those that were in the audience only took it away for one evening. They didn’t leave thinking about how I’m trying to promote my plays, trying to land a professional production, trying to get professionals to look at my work, how I am trying to shake this supposed career limiter of having amateur productions.

I know that I have to pick myself up and get on with writing and promoting my works. But at the moment I find myself in a little dark place that makes me wonder if I will ever get there. Will I ever get that professional production? Is my work good enough to make it?

I need a new tack; a new energy.

But how do I drum up the enthusiasm to do so?
