First hate comment

I was expecting this. I mean, I've been on the web wayyyy too long not to get one, right. Well, I finally got it. Can't say I'm surprised, I'm not. But, I am hurt. Yeah, I know. How can I be hurt if I expected it? Well, I don't know how, but I am.

I just want to make one thing perfectly clear (because I've been hearing this a lot): I am not a professional writer. I hope to be a professional writer.

Right now, I'm still just trying to get out of the nest, I haven't even figured out how to fly. Terrible analogy, I know. My point is that I'm trying. I have no connections to famous people, and I can't suddenly make people published writers or even get people published.

Best I can do is submit my work, grow, resubmit, and repeat the cycle until I consider myself good. Right now, I'm not even okay.

Well, that became a little sad at the end, but hey, hate comments hurt. I've never given a hate comment (if it's that bad, I'm not going to lie, I report it. That usually means you're writing about things you shouldn't be writing about, and definitelynot publishing), but I sure have received them. This one hurt the most, which is why I'm discussing it.

In any case, thank you for everyone who has supported me and continues to support me. I would love to hear back from people, if only because I'm feeling real shity right now. I can't wait for the second book to come out, and I hope you're excited too.

Thanks everyone! Oh, and I hope I'm not just taking to bots.
