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?

Hey, don't sweat it. Not everyone is going to love your writing, and that's a fact of the universe. I've had almost universal love for Standish but it still hurts massively when I find a review that says "this book was the worst thing I've read this year" - and i've found a few of those, I just don't talk about them.

Chins up, hun.

*is finally able to look at these/comment* *sucks*

Thanks, m'dear. It was one of those... I've never gotten one before that was absolutely so scathing. On top of that, I've been getting less and less comments on fics lately so in my head 1+1=suck.
