The writing/art wobblies: 
'I am an artist of immense personal integrity who does not need the support of the masses to confirm my genius.'
'Except it would be nice if people could mention my genius.'
'Hurrah! A lovely review calling me a genius!'
'But does that person know what genius really is? Or are they just a well-meaning but critically unsophisticated supporter, which is nice, but not the same.'
'I think I am brilliant, that's what counts!'
'But why oh why do people love Stephenie Meyer/Jeff Koons so much more than they love meeeeeeeee?'

After a few of these mental turnabouts, it's hard to stand up straight, hence the wobblies.

Was going to keep replying to comments, but I think I need a nap ...

Mwahahahah, pretty much sums up how my wobblies go.

I feel a bit like Susan being picked last for her sports teams though it is very clear how much better I/she am/is than the rest of the team and here's why....

Sometimes I do want to jump up and down shouting look at me my work is so much better than this that and the other. But I don't because it's rude. Even if it's true.

Really I just want to hear that yep it's good and appreciated. But it seems that's not the general established practice and you have to go gooey over everyone else in the hopes of a few going gooey over you.
