Oh, God, I'm neurotic

[ratherastory]

This is me being insecure and neurotic. Nothing to see here, move along.


Dear Self,

We have been over this. Just because a reviewer obviously didn't understand your story or maybe just didn't read it carefully does NOT mean you suck forever as a writer. Come on. There are plenty of people whose opinions you trust who told you the story worked just fine. One *anonymous* reviewer should not be enough to reduce you to a quivering pile of insecure goo.

Jesus H. Christ, woman, pull yourself together!

Love,

Me



Dear Anonymous Reviewer,

Really? You read all 8,000 words of that fic and came away with the notion that I have sympathy only for Sam and that I'm awful to Dean? Really?

I'm a little flummoxed that that's what you took away from the story. Truly.

Maybe you ought to read it again a little more carefully. Or, better yet, go away before I enlist Missouri to hit you with a spoon. I am all for constructive criticism, but that? That wasn't it.

No love,

Me

Aww, thank you!

*glomps you*

I can't fathom only liking one brother. I love 'em both. :)

I think Sam might be my boy, like if I could date one, 'cause I love the sad puppy type (I married one, and his brother, who lives with us, is so Dean). They don't work without the other, either.

Just keep writing.
*hugs you*

I don't plan on stopping anytime soon, that's for sure. Lots of stories to tell. :)

I waffle back and forth between the brothers all the time. I am an indecisive person at the best of times, and this, it seems, is no exception.

The waffling must be why your writing is so even handed. Favoring one brother one day and the other the next keeps it interesting.:)

Hah! I always knew my weakness was totally a hidden strength! Or something... ;)
