I'd like to also say that self-deprecation isn't good for you - please don't say things like I'm dumb... you aren't the worst author on the site and saying such things enough times will make you believe its true... you are also not stupid... on any account.... I have a feeling you know that...
Anyways, try and be careful with what you put into your head... just saying...
Never self-depreciate. When you say something too much, you end up believing in it even though it isn’t true.
It becomes a downward spiral especially if you convince others as well.
So encourage yourself instead. You don’t have to say you’re perfect, but can start with “I’m an OKAY writer and that’s fine”.
Also, bullying is HORRIBLE. If you ain’t anything good to say, then say it nicely or not at all.
It seems like nothing changes on this site. The level of toxic behaviour is terrible. Tomoyuki Don't let this get to you. I've heard so much trash said about me too, and I left the site for almost half a year because of that. But I came back stronger than ever and ready to deal with any trolls. Maybe you need a break from the site. But come back, don't let these people drive you away.
Always lurking here, never seen Tomo say a bad word.
Plus, he's one of the most helpful people in this forums.
lol
When it calls itself a silent reader yet it speaks so much.
RABBITICOL So is this one of those threads where people gather to discuss an arsehole, while acting like arseholes themselves?
Sythcake Dunno about the others, but I am here for that.
Tomoyuki Hey, tomo...idk why but this is the thing came into my mind after reading about you. Have you ever build the sand castle near beach? If you haven't... try once it's too much fun(age doesn't matter Okay!) and If yes, then... you know the feel of it. Even after knowing castle has to fall/dissolve we did our best to build one. It doesn't matter how unprofessionally we do but we still make our castle stand just for fun of few hours. Doesn't matter how beautifully one build it and better than us... everyone's have to be dissolve in the end. Still we do it again and again. because the joy of making one for ourself is what matters. Nothing else! Like wise, you should also write for yourself , love your own writing and story. Don't get too disrupted by others...just focus on fulfilling your fantasy stories. Those who will like it relate to it will eventually love it. And there will be many who will thing of it as useless, waste of time, crap, unproductive, and what not.... You don't have to take responsibility of fulfilling their expectations at all. It binds you and lock you. Just write what you like.
And the abuse happening to you is not acceptable at all but don't let it disrupt youself imagination and story. Even if you think you're not the best writer and there are still people who are reading your novel that itself means there must be something readers enjoy in your book. I'm a reader as I've seen many stupid people commenting bad but couldn't stop reading. Some are so over the edge that they'll abuse not only the books characters but Author also... they'll complaint all books for not being perfect(as per their fantasy) but so incompetent themselves to write one( perhaps don't have guts or fear of finding haters like themselves) that's why they expect others to fulfill their fantasy. Some. Readers are so comical that they'll bash in one chapter and after 2-3 they'll either priase(smile) or ignore commenting ( don't appreciates)
Only few readers genuinely criticize the work and many will be ignoreing or being dumb. That's why many potential stories were dropped in earlier stages by Author. Hope you won't quite and take it as stepping stone for yourself and let the best come out of you. All the best
As someone who has wrote on this site, had a barrage of haters I must say that its a massive disappointment. I came here to write and enjoy doing so, eventually getting a reader base along with all the negativity. I have to say to all writers, ignore the baseless hate that spews out. They have nothing better. Just enjoy your creative works.
I will add few word from me here im worst author at wn and if someone want to give this title someone else i can fight (ppl shouldnt juge someone book that is worst at wn if they havent touched mine)
poziomowiec That title belongs to me in case you're not aware. Don't bother trying to wrestle it from me
Tomoyuki At this point the ball is in your court, if you think them haters are right then no matter the encouragement from others, nothing would change your thought process
AriaKang have u upload dayli for over a year and never pass 800 place in ps ranking? some authors told u to end it while it's not popular? Probably no so don't fight with me when u can't win :P and most important have u call your novel sh*t which can be use as torture?
poziomowiec See I told you not to fight me, I've been updating on and off for over a year now and right now my rank is 4000. I totally can't see you beat that
AriaKang try to upload daily for 2 weeks and then we can fight while u have breaks it's normal but I'm uploading daily (this is different and while looking at your novel which has most of the chapters u have readers while I IDK if someone read my newest chapter) and do u have comments that reader can't understand what u mean in the chapter and need to think while reading it?
poziomowiec I did that too when I contracted my first two books, as for readers not getting you at all the same happened to me. You still refuse to give up the title despite showing how worthy I am
