It matters that we refuse.
It matters that we resist.
It matters that we be loud about our refusal and resistance.
Republicans have regressed to become the tyrants and enemies of the country. MAGA can't govern in a democracy. We need to honor the original text and write a new Constitution.
Hey, remember back when he blew a gasket during his first term over NPR doing their annual reading of the Declaration of independence because he assumed it was about him?
'Cause I remember that.
Writing is a process that often undergoes heavy edits… that includes responding to feedback.
I had no idea this post would resonate with so many people. I let my vitriol surrounding several comments I received on a recent update get to me and it spilled out into .gif form and it’s now morphed into the most widely shared thing I’ve ever posted. So many comments and tags have said things along the lines of, “This was why I quit writing” or “This is why I hate writing fanfic.” And that’s soul crushing to hear, but I can relate.
But while there are some crappy and entitled readers, there are also many brilliant ones and I’m so grateful for them. The huge response to this post made me go back and skim through the comments on my old stories, and comments like the one below are about half the reason some of those stories got finished, even if it was months later.
Comments like these are so rare, but when they do come up, they leave me staring at my computer screen, drumming my fingers on the keyboard, struggling to convey my feelings about how their words have touched my heart. These are the comments that take the longest amount of time to respond to and the ones that cause me to wear out my backspace key the fastest.
It’s easy to complain, but it’s literally just as easy to praise, so I just wanted to take a moment to recognize all those dear and dedicated readers who have propped me up when I wanted to quit. Readers like you are why I keep writing, and why I even feel honored to do it on rare occasion.
And fellow writers, keep your heads up if you can. :)
The first type of comment breaks my heart, both as a writer and a reader. It’s why I’ve been tempted to quit a few times, in the rare moment when I’ve gotten them.
The second type is seriously the best and I try to leave comments, even short positive ones, for almost every fic I read and enjoy.
THIS! PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS!
I am not getting paid. This is an outlet. This is for my enjoyment and yours. I HAVE A LIFE?!?! do u not???
yes I clearly say I am open to feedback but not u getting on and going ‘I think this is abandoned.’ Or ‘when are you updating I’ve been waiting!’ Especially on the projects I’ve clearly labeled to gauge interest!
the nice comments tho? I love you! I want to chat with you! Tell me all the things in the comments! I will try and remember who you are by your icon and username! I found new friend???
just saying, it does something.
