30 Days of Tolkien – Day 22

The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards. — The Two Towers

My Take – I would rather have someone I respect shake my hand and tell me I did a good job than for my work to be published and publicized.  Knowing that someone who understands what I do and what it takes to do it appreciates it means more than any accolade.

    Sincere praise from people I trust and admire; yeah I’ll take that any day over the fake well wishes of strangers.

    Some of the highest praise I’ve received was along the lines of “Couldn’t have done better myself” from people who I consider to be experts in the subject.
