3 bots in 1 night. All commenting on the same chapter the same exact crap. Nearly 2 hours apart. 
          	
          	Wattpad, answer my reports please. I want to write. Not be hounded by bots. Thanks.

To the singular, individual person who called my work DRY when I explicitly said it was a rough draft with no editing that I did when I was unwell, sincerely FAQ YOU!! 
          
          Ever since I've not been able to read my own work without thinking it sounds dry or without being unhappy about it. ONE person gave me a bad comment and it's completely screwed with my ability to feel even okay with what I'm writing and putting out!
          
          For 13 years I've been writing, and only ONCE have ever had a bad comment. Idk if it's cause I was in a bad mental space already or what, but it's screwed me up. That and the lack of traction and attention my books get now.. just makes writing feel worthless, especially if I'm no good at it.

            Thank you, it means a lot to read you say that!❤️ You are completely right there, we’re our own worst enemies when it comes down to it. I was in a bad place at the time and I let one sour apple have too big of an impact over the lovely support, and ruin the thing I loved doing most. It’s definitely easier said than done, but I aim to do my best. Thank you so much, I really needed to hear (or read rather) someone say that❤️❤️

@aamarixs don’t give up! This is coming from someone who gets hate comments pretty frequently - there will always be someone out there who is jealous and rude for absolutely no reason. But I promise you there are many people out there who are reading your work and eagerly waiting for that next chapter. As authors, we are our own worst critics when it comes to our writing, but I promise you that fresh eyes will always see it for how it really is - GREAT!! Please don’t give up and don’t let one bad apple spoil the trade for you. I know it’s easier said than done, but you can do it! Keep going! ❤️❤️

I’m so confused as to why my stories have basically been blacklisted? The views haven’t gone up once, stuck at the same number.. yet elsewhere I’m still getting views, likes and comments..
          
          Thanks Wattpad, appreciate it.
