I’m starting to get famous.
No honestly, that is not true. But from being completely unknown and untested, I’m getting requests and queries.
I’ve already told you about the publishing company that e-mailed me about reviewing a book. I’ve also been asked to guest write on a blog. And most interesting of all is a project a reader of this blog wants me to join.
I’m happy and very flattered.
I’m still so young (?) and green so I get flattered when someone likes my work.
Of course I don’t know what a famous star really feel, but they don’t look flattered when told that they are good. They look like they’ve heard it before and expect you to say it.
When do you stop become flattered?
Is it the same time you stop mingling around on other’s blogs writing a comment or two?
Is that about being priggish, or simply about time? Because fame means that everybody pull your sleeves for attention.
Let’s hope for a little bit of easy-to-handle-fame where I still can leave a little footprint or two around the blogs without getting bogged down.
And still become flattered.

I hope I never reach a point where I do not get happy to hear that someone likes what I'm doing, no matter if it is my cooking or my stories.
Most actors I've seen being interviewed do honestely appreciate it to hear praise of their work. So stay flattered!
I hope I never reach that point either.
In interviews the reporter is supposed to say "you are great, I love your movie" and the actor has no reason to believe that this is their honest opinion. I guess that behind that facade they still get flattered.
But at the same time it must be somewhat overwhelming and in the end tiresone to hear it all the time.
