I’m heartbroken.
Really! Do the readers even know what goes into writing a book?
Time, Effort, Tears, and what not.
Not just the time taken to string a few words together, but the time it takes to think, to plan, to build, the hours and hours of research to study and get things you know nothing about, exactly right.
The time it takes to type and then read and re-read and proof read again, to edit and then to make your beta reader give up their time to read.
We go through the grinder to bring out the best. We suffer through writer’s blocks and peer pressure. So much effort from the beta readers to push and motivate their writers to write. The hours spent discussing how to get the scene in the writer’s head into words and transfer the exact same scene into the reader’s mind.
It is not easy. It’s painstakingly difficult.
Ask any writer worth their word and they will tell you how they pour a little bit of their soul into every page they write.
And then there’s some reader who thinks they’re entitled to judge and then have our work taken down? Based on what? Your delicate sensibilities?
Keep on collecting this bad karma and then see what waits for you in the end.
Kindness is free. If it’s not for you, just move the fvck on!
Sincerely,
A writer whose will you broke.
