Let them write what they want to write and don’t harass them because it’s not exactly what YOU want to see. Writers don’t owe anyone anything. We do this for fun (and for free), and to constantly see readers harassing authors about their works is making me so angry.
To see readers bullying writers into going back to writing something they were taking a break from to pursue other stories/aspirations? TERRIBLE. Support the writers with whatever they are writing if you love them that much.
Let them know how much you appreciate their FREE hard work!
We are not here to cater to anyone but ourselves - yes, we share our stories with people to build a conversation about the things we all love, but ultimately we create things for ourselves.
The bullying and harassment of writers needs to stop, or the writing stops. Be appreciative, be respectful, and show the authors love instead of tearing them down for other things they enjoy.
“They’re paying us late. At Universal. And Warner Brothers. And Disney. And Amazon. And Hulu. And Netflix. Are you kidding me?” Sean Astin makes an impassioned speech on the SAG picket line. Today, August 13, 2023 marks 30 days since the start of their strike (July 14, 2023).
-I do not have to write fast to have value as a writer. As long as the story is getting told, no matter how long it takes to tell it, that is what matters.
-I am strong, brave and creative. I have the tenacity to tell my story and show it to the public and that is amazing!
-I am a writer, it doesn’t matter what topics or how “cringe” some others may find my writing. I am a legit and real writer.
-The genre I write isn’t what gives me value. I can write anything I want and my value as a writer will remain the same.
