Don't doubt yourself. It tells a lot about a person as an artist when they take compliments as sarcasm right away. Take pride in your work, and don't second guess positive feedback.

I addressed something similar to ths in a previous blog. As a writer, you have to be open to criticism and edits, or course. But you also have to be your own biggest fan. You have to love what you create and stand behind it.

If you approach your own work with doubt and hesitation, then that is how others will see your creations. You have to market yourself and your pastas. Now, there is a line to be walked of course. You shouldn't declare that your story is the greatest creation in the literary world. Don't shamelessly brag, in other words.

But it is perfectly acceptable, and expected, that you will be excited about your creations and be proud of the time and effort that you put into it. Love your stories, support your stories and be thankful for the feedback you receive.
