I have continued to write, despite the "self-importance" ascribed to my emotional/psychological state. The picture that I have posted here shows a frame from the daily feedback I get on my writing. Note the purple bars on the left, showing that my average level of "self-importance" is greater than the rest of the world. As you see, it's the only bar that exceeds the height of rest of the world. To all of you, thanks again for the excellent advice and encouragement that keeps me going. I maintain that 750Words.com is a helpful motivator. I won't beat myself up, but my self-importance continues to befuddle me. (I think I know where Ayn Rand
would come down on all of this.) Thanks again, and please, keep your comments coming.

I'd like to hear where you think Rand would come down.
Rand requires careful study; she uses very exact language. If one tries to read what she says while insinuating-in the hodge-podge of ideas that one hears habitually associated with the topics she writes about, it's very easy to misunderstand what she's actually saying.
I realize you don't have time to research and study right now since you're in the midst of an important project, but maybe we can help you see that some of the things that are bothering you about having "self-importance" don't need to be bothering you.
