Venting: From yesterday events because I can XD:
Yesterday feels like a century way and it was very strange. I had to deal with harsh critic reviews, crazies on facebook, and strange hatemail on wattpad.com lol So this rant is another -what-the-fudge-moments.#1 The name is the book is called, "So, you want to be popular?"
It's not called, "So.. you want to be a good writer?"
It's suppose help other authors gain more exposure and then they can learn to become a better writer on their own. Don't ask me how to be a better writer, because I'm still figuring that out for myself. And I have at least another fifty years to become a good writer. lol hahahahha! Yes, I said fifty years.
#2 I never claimed that Watt pad's POPULAR books are good books.
Some undiscovered books are better. And some "famous" books are better.
I acutually don't even read stories from the popular section. I like to hunt for good books lol And when I find a good book (That is undiscovered) I feel as if I found a secret treasure.
#3. I've been waiting to rant about this my whole life.
I think most critics are pretty useless. I think they serve no purpose. And I've never seen a critic who can write. Most critics who critize other authors honestly couldn't sell a book to sell their lives. But readers always know how to lead the writer in the right direction. If a loyal reader tells me that I need to change something, I'm going to change it. If a (loyal) reader tells me that they don't like a story, I'll delete it.It's the reader that will buy the story. So, we should never forget that. Some critics don't understand what appeals to young readers. Think of it this one: One critic VS a million readers. Who is really important?
#4: (Continuation of #4)
Always gotta hate on the cliche stories..
So, I'll admit that my new story, Never Been Kissed seems slightly Cliche. But, it's a original LOL If I told you the whole plot, you'd understand.
and if you hate cliche stories, then you are the wrong stie! Now, get out of here! I have no problem with cliche stories! Just throw some twists at the end of the story and I'll love you for fricken enternity.
#5: Calm down lol
We all are writers that are writing to have fun! No one is a proffessional, so you don't need to jump down people's throats for making mistakes.
#6: "GOSH, THIS IS IS SO POORLY WRITTEN! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAS FIVE MILLION VIEWS!"
My reply, "Gosh, I can't believe you only have two fans!" I don't like purists, but I'll talk about purists on another day. I'm sorry if a writer an sell/market then their story, then they are already way ahead of you.
#7- I actually can't stand when critics leave comments on my journal. I had six new comments from six different critics this morning and I was so mad that I deleted them all lol This is my (Personal) watt pad journal, get out of here! Go read my work other. This journal shouldn't be taken too seriously.
#8. If I fanned you, then no I probably haven't read your work.
#9: So I'm a little annoyed when people IM me to tell me how great their book is.
To be honest, I really don't care if 5 billion like your book. I'm not taking reading request and I wouldn't take reading request by IM, THANK YOU!
#10: I'm tired. AND REMEMBER I LOVE YOU MORE THAN I LOVE TRAVELING!
#11: Place a drop in the tip jar! I'm trying to save up to go to Asia! Thanks!
#12- Remember, that you love to write. Sometimes, it's easier to be negative but the positive fans out weigh every hater or so-called critic.
