Hey everyone,
I hope you're all doing well.
Today, I want to share something with you that's been weighing heavily on my mind. I've just finished my exams, and I was eagerly looking forward to diving back into writing the next part of my story. Writing has always been a source of joy and comfort for me, especially during tough times. But when I opened my app today and read some of the messages I received, I felt an overwhelming sense of distress and sadness.
Some of you have accused me of copying someone else's story, and I can't even begin to describe how much that hurts. To be labeled as a "copycat," a "stupid b****," and worse—these words have left me feeling utterly devastated. Writing this book has been a deeply personal journey for me, and to see it dismissed and ridiculed in this way has been crushing.
First and foremost, I want to clarify something: this story is mine. Every word, every idea, comes from my own experiences, imagination, and heart. While the premise might remind some of you of other works—because let's face it, certain themes and ideas are universal—I assure you that I have not copied anyone's work. I've read many books myself, and I know how important originality is. That's why these accusations have hit me so hard.
I want to ask you all—have you ever read anything truly similar to my book? If so, please let me know, because I've done my best to create something unique. I understand that people might draw comparisons, but to outright accuse me of plagiarism is something I never expected.
I've dealt with bullies before. Throughout my life, I've been gaslighted, ridiculed, and made to feel small. It's left me with scars, and yes, I have anger issues because of it. I'm vulnerable, and sometimes that vulnerability comes out in ways I wish it didn't—I shout, I cry, I lash out. But I'm also someone who's trying to heal, and writing has been a huge part of that healing process. So when I see these hurtful messages, it breaks me in a way that's hard to put into words.
There was a moment when I seriously considered deleting my book and giving up on writing altogether. I thought, "What's the point if people are just going to tear me down?" But after taking some time to reflect, I've come to a different conclusion. I'm not going to let negativity stop me from doing something I love. I started writing because it was therapeutic—it helped me through some of the darkest times in my life. And I'm going to keep writing for that reason, no matter what anyone says.
I'm not a professional writer. I've never claimed to be. But I'm learning, growing, and doing my best with every chapter. This book is more than just a story to me—it's a companion that's been with me through thick and thin. So, while I may not be the best writer out there, I'm proud of what I've created.
I want to make it clear that I won't be begging for votes, comments, or shares. If you enjoy my book, that's wonderful, and I appreciate your support more than words can express. But I'm writing for the joy of it, not for the approval of others. For those who believe I've copied someone else's work, I will continue to write and prove that this story is my own.
To those who have sent me negative messages, I kindly ask you to stop reading my book if you don't like it. I understand that not everyone will connect with my story, and that's okay. But sending hateful messages is not okay. If my book isn't for you, then simply move on—there's no need to hurt others with your words. Even if just one person out there enjoys my book, that's enough for me.
I've already included a disclaimer in my book stating that every event I mention is fictional. Nothing in this story is real, though I draw inspiration from history. Yes, there are intimate scenes because I believe that in the period I'm writing about, such things did happen. People didn't magically reproduce or circulate stories without some level of intimacy. So please, let's approach this with an open mind and understand that it's a fictional book with a twist—my own imagining of what might happen if a girl were to travel back in time and experience, or even alter, historical events.
I also want to remind you that I'll be posting a Q&A soon, as I mentioned earlier. I'll be answering your questions and addressing your doubts, so I hope that will clear up any confusion or concerns you might have.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far. Your encouragement means the world to me, and it's what keeps me going, even in the face of negativity. I'm looking forward to continuing this journey with you, and I hope we can move forward with understanding and respect.
Yours faithfully,
Fictionalcreatorco
