Better than that · 3:13am Jun 13th, 2013
I just came back to my computer and noticed a large number of comments piling on my last blog post. I haven't read through them yet, and I won't be able to give them my full attention until a little later tonight, but I promise to read every single one of them. Taking a glance, a lot of them seem to be support. I'm sure a lot of them are also, "get over yourself" and "you're being a loser," but I know I deserve all of it. I was being a drama queen after all.
With that being said, I want to say this. I'm sorry for that post, guys. I'm better than that. I'm better than wallowing in self pity. Maybe last year and before I discovered this show and this fandom that taught me to giggle at the ghosties and always smile, I would let this get me down and keep me down. But now? No. Definitely not! I'm better than that, now. I'm already feeling better about it, and I'm going to take the comments from EQD to make me even stronger.
Thanks, you guys. I appreciate that "watching" for you guys isn't just a numbers game. Also, get ready. I'm going to go ahead and learn what I can from this experience. Then, I'm setting a goal to have the next chapter out before Fiesta Equestria! (which I'm going to) at the latest!!
As a new writer on Fimfiction as well, we're in this journey together, as are so many others. You're off to a good start. Don't let this get you down. Like I said, write for yourself. Bringing an idea to life is the greatest thing an artist can do.
1141099 I would jump in on this, but I'm too lazy for frequent writing, it seems.
Just to let you know, I'm really sorry for what we put you through.
A good portion of those posts were people just stating their opinions about EQD, and have nothing to do with what happened to you.
For what it's worth, I'm happy you've gotten through this, and have decided to keep with writing.
The world needs more creative minds like you.
Good man!- or woman!- I am glad you haven't let it bring you down, go out there and show them the best you have got! Ain't nothing gonna stop you!
FORWARD ONTO VICTORY!
Glad to see you're feeling better, good luck writing!
Power to ya, mate. I do hope we'll be hearing from you again!
You have no idea how happy I am to hear that.
Rock on, bro.
Good on ya! Excelsior!
Good luck man, glad to see you striving to improve.
Don't post your stuff to EQD befor you know you can. I am not an EQD fan, but i must admit that they have insanely high standards to be accepted compared to FF. don't think that you suck at running just because you are mot usain bolt.
Hesitate not to ask for help.
Like I said, a lot of people around Fimfiction can make your story's quality much better than you might be able to. Just make sure you're able to accept change to your fiction, rather than being a rock to your editors!
I'm sure a lot of them are also, "get over yourself" and "you're being a loser," but I know I deserve all of it.
They weren't, and you wouldn't.
I was being a drama queen after all.
No, you were just being emotional, possibly in the vain hope that people would be mature enough to deal with is sensibly. Ho hum.
I mean, for the love of George Clooney, what's so wrong about having a bad day and wanting to be honest about it? No, what you did was perfectly fine—don't let anyone say otherwise.

Thanks. It's nice to hear that I wasn't incredibly out of line.
Glad to hear it
