Egos and do I have one?

The hardest role to play?
Hero or baddy? 

Neither
The hardest role by far is the clown. 

On the outside laughing and joking, on the inside yearning to be taken seriously or wanting to cry.

I may joke about a lack of sales and selling a book a month is a WOW time for me hehehe.

On the inside, I am saying I am tired of reading of YOUR success, your book deals and film deals and NYT best sellers. 
I wish you well, but it eats my soul to keep reading about everywhere.  

 Why not create a site called "Ego time," and then you can all read about YOUR success stories and leave lesser mortals alone.
