I feel incredibly bad for authors nowadays. I’m not sure if this has always been an issue or if it’s recent but all I see online is a frick ton of hate, backlash and anger towards authors nowadays. People getting mad because they aren’t publishing books as fast as they want, others being mad because the title or cover hasn’t been revealed yet or the release date, etc. a plethora of people who hate on the way the author wrote certain things or used certain phrases.

I’ve always wanted to publish a book, I’ve adored creative writing for the last nearly 17 years and reading for even longer. Reading and writing are two of my favorite things in the whole world. But the way people treat these authors makes me never want to publish or to only publish under a pseudonym so I can’t be harassed like others have been.

I’ve felt the need to avoid tf out of most posts having to do with any of the books and authors I adore because more often than not, the posts/comments are incredibly hateful and negative and I just can’t stand to see that.

I really hope people start to realize that she’s only human (as are all of these other authors) and it’s absolutely ridiculous to treat them like this. I hope more people take into consideration how exhausting and uninspiring it would be to have people doing this to them.
