Mass emailings, pettiness.....

November 16, 2007 | 2 Comments

You know, I can understand if some one doesn't like a story. I can understand that I cannot change anyone's opinion. Shoot, that's life. No big. I can even understand if someone gets upset because you show them the flaws in their logic, or show them the logic I use in making the choices that I make in writing a story. I can even understand that they may feel slighted because so many other folks like a story that they cannot stomach.

That's life. I got used to that a long time ago.

What I cannot understand is some one sending a mass emailing to an author, stating the same things, over and over and over again. Must be a mean streak, I guess. I guess they are trying to hurt me by attempting to throw rejection in my face. All it does is piss me off.

Feh. Words can't kill me. If they did, I would have been dead long, long ago.

Another thing that I cannot understand is how some folks are so resistant to change. This character MUST remain a frightened coward, no matter how old they are or how much they may have grown. That character MUST remain a total bitch, no matter what may have happened in their life, or how they may feel on the inside, or how they may have grown up. This character MUST remain an emotionaless doll. That character MUST remain a drunken slob/super warrior. This character MUST remain a cold, heartless bastard. It makes no sense to me. The arguement that "This is how the creator made them ,you have no right to change them" is a weak one at best, especially when time has passed since the end of their story and the beginning of yours.

I can understand constructive criticism ( that's 'constructive': c-o-n-s-t-r-u-c-t-i-v-e) but slamming a story just because it doesn't fit a person's narrow view on how things should be written doesn't help anyone whatsoever. It merely strokes the small and underdeveloped ego of the person doing the slamming. It's just petty.

Just my 2 cents.

Later

Another chapter written, another day lost....

Okay everyone, I have posted The Second measure of The Music of the Night, I hope that everyone enjoys it! Trust me, it has been a pleasure to write this! I get to listen to the soundtrack of one of my favorite musicals while a right about it!

I spent most of the day yesterday writing it, then working on the next chapter of Father. Today, however, I'm home sick from work. Word of advice: Never eat the lasagna Hungryman Dinner. I have been sick as a dog e'er since. My job is a temp job so far, and I'm scared that this absence will jepardise my chance of getting on there permanantly. The problem is that I don't think they would appreciate me running to the restroom every five minutes! Ugh!

More later!

A bit of a problem, I guess........

Well, I was finally able to find a little time to ask for blogspace (Thanks a lot, ya'll!), so I'd thought I'd put my new found outlet to work.

 I don't know how many of you folks might have this problem, but I do have a bit of an overactive imagination. This does lead to some difficulties when it comes to time. As of right now, I have several Eva stories going, as well as a HP story and a relaunch of one of my favorite heroes, Thunderstrike. I feel bad that I seem to neglect some of them for others. A prime examle of this is Father and Song of the Berserker. I started SotB first, but the idea for Father came to mind, and this lead to me working on that story exclusively, leaving poor SotB  to rest for quite a while.

 I currently have about six or seven ideas for new stories running through my brain, but I'm afraid to start of them for fear of my neglecting the others. I try to update my stories as often as possible to make people happy, but I refuse to rush the stories. I just don't want to give people something that disappoints them. So I sit and wonder about the other stories flowing through my brain and fight the urge to start typing like a madman.

Anyone else have that problem? How do you deal with it?

Sorry to ramble, I just had to vent a bit! Have fun folks! I'll try to have Chapter 6 of Father finished by Sunday night. Later!
