*sigh*

and then there are times I wonder why I even bother writing. I just got a review that made me feel so horrible about myself and my ability to write that I'm nearly in tears.

The one thing I've always prided myself on is characterizations. And how I craft a fic. The last thing I wrote... it wasn't intended on being a ground-breaking piece of fiction. Hell, it was mostly crackish if you'd actually read. There were things I didn't want to go into as an author and wanted to create a humourous atmosphere.

Apparently I fail and suck as a writer.

Joy.

And on top of that, I'm getting royally FUCKED with my car. The window "works" but it's not perfect. But if I want it back to how it should work, *I* have to pay the 350 bucks to do it. Yet, it was broken on THEIR watch. And then I had the general manager of the place tell me that even if someone smashed in my window while it was in their possession, it's my responsibility to replace it. I'm just livid -- and now telling me I suck as a writer isn't helping.

Anyone have any alcohol? Please?

*hugs and hands over her vodka*

You know what it's only one review and who made anyone the be all end all of characterization.

Ignore the review and if you had fun writing it that's all that's important!

*is finally able to look at these and also takes the vodka happily*

It's just one of those things that seeing it... just makes you really question things, yanno? And it really shot my confidence all to hell. Just look at how long it took me to get back to answer these. ♥

I hope you're doing well enough, hon.
