I do like it, but that's not to say I wouldn't advise you to revise aspects of it. You will recall my email to you with some friendly suggestions. But the overwhelming majority of people that will read something, have nothing to do with green lighting a Hollywood project. So, I suppose whether or not something is good can be measured on a number of levels. Is it good writing for the casual reader? Is it good enough writing to be made into a film? Is it good enough writing for the literary snobs? When paying my compliment, it was meant as an answer to the question: is it good enough to entertain thenewgreen? And the answer is a resounding "yes".

So, you've got that going for you. But your point is not lost on me, it really is a shame that you're not able to enjoy these compliments. I think you should do your best to shake yourself of that. That said, being hard on yourself and always pushing yourself to be better at your craft is a good thing. And if those Hollywood assholes are in a way "pushing you", then perhaps you're better for it.
