not to jerk myself off on y'all's dash lol but i so wish i could post the outline to the story i'm working on. i genuinely think i have something really good on my hands if i can just see it through to the end and polish it up enough. it's scary and fragile yet so enticing
#she bork#like i think it's good. like could be really really good as in publishable. but ofc i would think that lol so i'm not really sure. my#friends said it's good and like i do trust them bc they're intelligent and have been good beta readers for me my whole life but at the same#time what if they don't want to hurt my feelings bc they know i'm really excited about this. idk i also sent the outline to one of my#friends who is a writer and who ik for a fact will not mince words and will LOOK for inconsistencies; not in a mean way but he has a very#keen eye and ear for when something isn't right and he'll tell you when something jumps out at him. so i'm just waiting on his feedback to#tell me if my outline's worth a damn or not lol#novel 2024

i think it’s mostly new people that are coming here and getting their feelings hurt tbh. while i haven’t been here since 2019 i’ve been here long enough to know what is and what isn’t acceptable. sarcasm is a form of passive aggression and you’ve already expressed that you’re well aware and that you’ve even gotten that in the past. i do find your persona on here sarcastic and curt at times and i think it’s foolish for people to expect something different when you’ve never presented yourself otherwise. to me you just seem like someone who simply isn’t in the business of people pleasing or mincing their words. i think the anonymity emboldens people to “tell you about yourself” which is ironic because that’s them being passive. it’s simple really. don’t like it? leave. it bothers you so bad? unfollow. this isn’t me saying you’re above critique. it’s okay to enjoy and be a fan of someone’s work but not the person they seem to be. hp and tlou fans do it daily. just show your support and go (though it sounds like they don’t properly do that anyway so i guess…just go.) and for the people who keep asking about bt or any other wip, find something else to care about. there are plenty of other writers/stories on here and elsewhere to entertain yourself with. hell, pick up a hobby in your real life, something. anything other than coming on here to throw a tantrum and waste your time being disrespectful. this was long ik. woke up with it on my mind.
Maybe that's where my disconnect lies when someone called me passive aggressive bc i associate passive aggression with people who are afraid of confrontation and who throw stones and then hide their hands and that couldn't be more opposite of me 😭
right like at the end of the day I think it's kind of silly to harass someone bc they aren't as nice as you think they should be. Just leave 🧍🏾♀️this is my home after all and I've said before that some people think any kind of tone less than gentle and hand holding is "mean" when...it's not. I've argued with people who just don't know wtf mean actually is and this is why I have the friends I do irl bc I don't need someone asking me every single day if I'm mad at them just because I'm not babying them and speaking to them in a gentle voice. That's just not who I am. I'm a very matter of fact and straight to the point kind of person and some people don't like that personality type which is valid but idk why it's becoming my problem
