1D Group-Write

@ antidote.
I did not leave myself out of discussion - it was more like everyone spewed ideas and I was left in the dust without any regards to my character at all. I feel like my character is completely left out of a lot half the time - so I honestly don't even know how I'm supposed to write it!

Do I want to go? Absolutely not - I've put just as much time writing chapters as the rest of you. Id like a little guidance if anything - because like I said, I HONESTLY don't know what to do. You guys all have your special interactions and all, and I feel like I'm not sure how my character is supposed to be part of it - it's like she's not half the time.

@ dancingskiingwriter

Corie, you're asking for a little guidance: Check the tenth post down.

I offered help. You ignored and responded a month later.

@ Anchor and Hope.
Okay, I'm sorry. I see my errors. How much longer are you going to yell at me about it?

@ dancingskiingwriter

Oh lord.
I'm not yelling. I am simply stating a fact.

I think you need to go and read my last post on page 79, since I'm guessing you didn't see it.

@ Anchor and Hope.
Okay.

@ dancingskiingwriter
We're trying to understand here Corie, but you are giving us attitude and it's very off putting. I don't want things to be like this.

I can't help someone who is unwilling to be helped. I don't think you carrying on with the story would be wise. There is too much tension now between Me, Becca and you. We've done everything we can but our efforts are lost on you. I can't help someone who is determined to play the victim card.

You won't answer us with a straight answer whether you are going to stay or not, and instead are continuously throwing things at Becca and I that are unnecessary. Please stop making this awkward for all of us.

Did I not say that I wanted to stay a few posts ago? I thought we were discussing this. Sorry, didn't realize was wrong about that. When did I say I was unwilling?

@ dancingskiingwriter
You've said you wanted to stay but I didn't realise that was a firm decision.

I can't be dealing with the attitude. Is there is any way you can reply in a nicer way rather than sounding so hostile towards me because I will walk and I do not want that.

Truthfully, I just don't know how any of this if going to work. Nobody works under tension and I've offered help plenty of times in the past which you've barely appreciated. I can help but I can't write your chapter for you. If you want things to happen to your character, make something happen- we can't do everything!

Please let's just be adults here and stop with the hostility.

I'm sorry - again, I don't know how I'm replying in a hostile manner. I'm sorry.

I get that you can't do everything - but I thought the point of a "group write" was supposed to help each other and write something together that is coherent. I guess I misinterpreted.

Corie,

I'm sure this isn't what you want to hear, because honestly, it's not fun for me to say.

But I think it may be best if you walk away.

Something tells me this hostility isn't going to end. No matter how we approach this, we are going to be big bad ogres. We wont be able to approach you about updating, because I have this looming feeling that this will be the result each and every time. I, nor Becca have the heart to deal with this every few months- I hate conflict more than you could ever imagine, it goes totally against my nature- especially my professional training.

I also do not believe we could maintain (or better yet, repair) a working relationship after all of this.

Everything we say is being taken completely and totally out of context. At this point I feel as if I could say How was your day? and you would respond with I'm sorry I'm such a disappointment, I'm sorry I'm a failure, I just don't have time to update. And that isn't a healthy working relationship for anyone to maintain.

We've tried to help. But you have ignored. I have physically shown you where I've tried and where I was ignored- we have done what we can, but we can only do so much.

You said yesterday you would stay or go, whatever we wanted. At this point I think walking away will be the most peaceful option, this isn't fair for any of us, and it's honestly what I think would be for the best. I know how hard it is, but this can't go on any longer.

I really am so sorry.

@ dancingskiingwriter
We do help and think of ideas together. You chose to be absent a lot of the time. Once again not our fault.

I won't apologise for being active in this thread and being full of ideas. That's one thing I will not apologise for.

Do you really think we can work together after all this?

I agree with Becca right now!

@ Anchor and Hope.
@ antidote.

So that's it.. You guys really want me to leave... ?

@ dancingskiingwriter

Honestly, it's just what we think would be best for everyone.

Like I said, I am really sorry.

@ Anchor and Hope.
That's not fair! What's going to happen to my character? That's not fair

@ dancingskiingwriter

We haven't discussed it yet, but were probably going to write her out.

Corie, not fair is keeping is waiting four months for an update.
Please just walk away gracefully. You're making this super hard, more so than it already is.

@ Anchor and Hope.
So there's really no talking this through? You've all made your decision and I just have to go with it?

@ dancingskiingwriter

Honestly, yes. I don't believe anything is going to change and I know Becca agrees as well.

Seriously - I get that I was a terrible writer but this is just unfair.

@ dancingskiingwriter

Corie.
Let it go.

All the arguing isn't going to change the things that have happened.
Please, I'm literally begging.

Just walk away gracefully.
I'm not going to change my mind and Becca isn't either.

I'm firm in my belief that things aren't going to change or get any better.

@ Anchor and Hope.
Why? Why do you think it can't change?
