A Little Shocked and My Current Status With My Stories - Comments

@ star collision.
You, sweetheart, are my angel among the darkness. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I have been away from the computer and everything on here simply because I hadn't had the strength to even get out of bed. But now that I am home, and comfortable, I have the most energy ever sine this past week. I truly appreciate your loyalty, as it is reciprocated from my end. Thank you for being not only a fellow favorite writer of mine, but an awesome friend. Take care and much love!

You take as much time as you need. Generally, for a fellow writer and updater it's perfectly understandable that life gets in the way sometimes. It's such a shame that other people don't have the understanding and feel the need to tell you about their displeasure, in a none to polite way.

Take all the time you need, love. I'm with you for the long run and will remain as faithful and inspired by your work as ever!

Thank you for this comment. I greatly appreciate the support on how to view my stories. I started on this journey simply because I love to write and I didn't think I would ever encounter such a message. But... Here we are. You are right - I shouldn't have to deal nor apologize because of my update status. I would love to do this full time and not worry about a job, school, or my heart condition. But I can't. I do have to say, for the two that I have lost, I still have plenty who have stood by patiently and I have had the privilege of becoming fast friends. I started writing out fan fiction because I wanted to see something different, a change in the mundane course. I found this place and it has exceeded past my expectations. I can't be sorry or disappointed in that and never will.

Again, thank you for your honest and kind words. You have made it easier for me to let go faster. I appreciate that. Take care and have a wonderful day. :)

Alright, I'm probably going to get people disagreeing with me on this one but that's downright rude and wrong.

Messaging someone that [you] are let down by a writer such as yourself not updating for a week or even more. . .that's not cool at all. First of all, writers do, to an extent, want an audience and "write" for them but for the most part that's not true. Writers write for themselves. Point blank.

To be frank, you're better off without those types of readers.

In all my time spent writing stories online, I haven't had that type of response or PMs saying that kind of stuff. People will just unsubscribe and move along with something else they want to read.

In short, DO NOT APOLOGIZE for them losing interest in your stories. What matters is not letting YOURSELF down. Have a lovely day, ma'am.
