Question of the day part 10
Carter-Orange:
We may have had a question like this before, but just to give us all a boost...
What's the best plot you've come up with, one that's so good you can't even believe you came up with it yourself? We've all got them - time to get past the insecurities and brag a little about what we do best!
Well, I wouldn't say they are amazing plots, but I did love Save A Prayer and Rewind and I think I'm probably most proud of them.

I believe I know who you are talking about, and here's my take on that: When a person only cares about herself and getting praise for her stories and visitors to her website, she'll say anything to make people like her... and then turn on them just as quickly when they do or say something she doesn't like, because it's all about her, not them. People resort to bullying and name-calling because they don't feel very good about themselves and want to give themselves a boost by stepping on someone else, and that is exactly what she tried to do to you. I'm glad you were able to see through her fakeness. You are not a shitty writer. She is just a shitty person.

I don't have a lot to choose from at the moment, but I'm pretty proud of Falling in Love Again. Plotwise, I think it was pretty original for a romance. I've been pretty excited about a new story I'm working on, but the more I think about it, the more I doubt myself. Eh-- we'll see.

I have read something by almost everyone on here as well, I believe. At least people who have posted in this thread and I have to agree with Julie, I think you're all great writers and I wouldn't say it if I didn't believe it either.
I also wanted to add that most likely when you were told it was good, that was the more genuine answer. It's far easier to hurt someone than praise them, especially after a fight. So chances are, that was said to just be flat out mean more so than honest.
FrickingKaos:
It really hurt my feelings and you're totally right. I don't like that. I think back and realized a lot of stuff, glad I am out of that situation. It affected me because I haven't been able to write anything new since that which is lame. I shouldn't let it get to me but I wish people would realize words can and do hurt.
