justfloating said it really well... writing is a tough job. Everyone becomes your critic, and since words don't go away once published your work is going up for competition with MASTERS of writing for not only the present but for HUNDREDS OF YEARS.

So yes. To get 25 for writing, maybe that's not how much you WANT, but it's a start, and you should try to be PROUD of it.

Good luck, remember your worth is not measured in others reception of you.
