I give up

[Kallie Thomas]

Constructive reviews I can handle. Reviews from idiots who can't SPELL review I can take, too. But I've just--I give up.

oh, oh, this sounds serious.

take several deep breaths, remember that you write for the pleasure it gives you, and walk away from the computer for awhile.

the internet is good for bringing disparete groups of people together, but it also gives a lot of idiots access to you, access you can't control beyond ignoring them.

please don't despair - I still like your writing :)

Kallie,
I have not checked the reviews of your stories to see what is upsetting you, however I really enjoy your writing and hope this frustration passes.

Good advice Amanda.

Ignore the bad and remember the good. :) Ig I quit everytime I got a bad review, I'd never have written anything! Just remeber that there are people that enjoy your work and those are the ones that count.

Kallie,
'Tiz frustrting I know--I get great reviews and terrible reviews which proves Lincoln's observation that you can't please everybody all the time. And it also adds credence to an even greater thinker's saying, Rick Nelson's: "You can't please everyone so you better please yourself."

I chastize myself when I find myself getting upset over a bad review. While it's an artist's temperment thing, I soon realize that to have and enjoy a "high," you just have to endure the "low."

Well, that's a lot of Zen crap huh? But true for me--I like ya :)

I registered with this site just to say this to you. I feel you are the best writer posting here. Don't let one Fidiot discourage you. You are a talented storyteller.

Thanks, all. I made my decision last week to come back--of course, the site has been down. Coincidence?

Probably.

I've made a decision, though. A lot of stories I've held back because I felt they were too outrageous, too over-the-top, too absolutely unrealistic, though they gave me great pleasure writing. No more--virgin sacrifices, sexual enslavement by aliens--you name it, I've probably written it, and I will probably put it up on the site.

Thank you again.

My mom told me long time ago: if you have nothing nice to say, keep quiet! and you know what - it works. I’m sure there are lot of ppl (as you can see from responds to your post) that like your work, and there are some that don’t – thank Gods we have different taste and preferences. Criticism is hard to take, but try to take it easy – constructive ones are rare – mean ones : ignore! Good luck :)

I for one (and there are lots others too!) am very glad you are back Kallie!

And please please yes over the top? GO FOR IT

giggles and is gone.... for now

Hopefully, Jinn will be able to begin updating the site again shortly. I'm looking forward to reading some of your new stuff. I need to get off my fat ass and write some, too, though.

*Sigh* So much to do, so little time. I need a clone.
