Recent Criticism

The present author, it so happens, has received recent criticism regarding a story, in that the story was an attempt to do too much, to weave too many disparate threads, and was too hard to tackle for an amateur. Likely unquestionably true; this criticism lends credence to the revelations by the present author, in this here very blog, that setting one's expectations too high - too high being any modicum of success - is a recipe for disappointment in all regards. However, it also occurs to the present author that attempting something much simpler and less grandiose will still result in the same utter disappointment.
