I'm a realist.

I'm not the best writer in the world but neither are you.

Don't jump down my throat and I won't jump down yours.

I'm brutally honest and I know what I'm talking about, otherwise I wouldn't say things. If I give you a bad review then don't try to start drama with me because you make yourself look stupid and childish. If you give me a bad review I won't start drama with you. So I ask you show me the same respect.

I respect you until you give me a reason not to.

Once you're on my bad side you don't ever get off of it. With me the bad will always out weigh the good and you're guilty until proven innocent.

If you add one of my stories to your reading list and you're not a fan or you don't comment (or at least PM me and tell me what you think of the story and that you're going to add it to a reading list) then I *will* put the story on indefinite hold.

You will never become a good writer if you urgently want to write but do not have an equal passion for reading. -- Judith Barrington
