I just received some pretty hateful comments on one of my books, and I'm thinking of taking a break. I was already very self-conscious about my writing. . . and it really hurt to read such things. Please remember that if you don't like an author's story, you don't have to read it. I'm not really sure why they said what they did, but it was really upsetting to be sent such a long and rambling essay about how 'horrid' and 'pointless' my story is. I'm in tears. I think I have a following of very nice and supportive people, from what I've seen, and I'd like to keep it that way. Please remember to be nice to everyone. . . you have no idea how your words can affect someone. (This message is not addressed to all the lovely people who have read my books and been so caring and supportive. I thank each and every one of you, Darlings♥)
