This is something you will have to get used to. Ideas, whether
good or bad, usually take a very long time to attract much attention.
Other people have their own preoccupations and will not normally
pay much attention to anything you do. If you're looking for
external validation then you will need a lot of patience. For
better or worse, that's the way the world works.
