I know that this message has nothing to do with the readers of this novel. The readers here are extremely sweet and loveable — but I want to show you all the reality of what I deal with. And it is important that you all see the kind of people around us.

If you didn't read the latest update on my novel ex-boyfriend, new husband, then here it is:
I just got called UNSTABLE.
A person just said "I think author is unstable."
You're allowed to dislike the book. I am not very proud of this book either. It holds a place because it was my first book, but still — I deleted it because it didn't translate well and I DO UNDERSTAND the negative aspect of it.
In fact, I was rewriting this novel. Same plot, same characters, but making them better. Making them less toxic, mysogenstic and all those adjectives I've heard throughout the time.
BUT IN NO WORLD... I REPEAT, IN NO WORLD DOES ANYONE GET THE RIGHT TO CALL THE AUTHOR UNSTABLE.
People sit on their phones, scroll past the book probably not even reading the story entirely, just skimming through, and then decide that the author — who has written multiple new novels and has grown — is unstable. Why? Just because of one novel.
There are novels I dislike, there are comments I dislike — but you will NEVER see me go on their feed and call them unstable.
I try to stay patient but it's getting extremely difficult.
It's reaching the point where I want to quit writing now.
My novel Whispers of Healing — which had the GREENEST FLAG I have ever seen/written — is also being criticized. PEOPLE ARE FINDING FLAWS IN THAT TOO. And I know what you'll all say: people will never be happy.
Fine.
But that doesn't excuse calling an author UNSTABLE. UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUSNESS OF THAT WORD. It is NOT a joke.
I am spending my FREE TIME writing a book, catering to everyone's feedbacks and expectations and writing 5-6 updates daily WHILE BALANCING MY OWN LIFE — only to be called unstable in return?!
This is not funny. It is not a joke anymore and it definitely is NOT going to taken lightly.
Try and write your own book while managing time before commenting on other people's time and words. If these people do write their own book — YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE.
You can't expect others to come to your novel if this is how you treat others like you. Don't expect good if you can't give it.
This is sickening. I'm actually so angry. I don't even know.
This behavior is sickened me — to a very high level.
I will take action if required, because you have the rights to hate the book, but no one has any rights to call someone unstable without understanding the gravity of those words.
I'm very very upset by this. This is extremely unprofessional and intolerable.
