this was supposed to be a happy post and all, but i'm in a bit of a bad mood. i've gathered the courage to show this story i've been writing for a while to some people, and through this experience i've learned a few things.
-the writing world is extremely competitive. perhaps more so on the internet than anywhere else.
-i know far too little about the mechanics of writing to be successful. i've gone wrong somewhere and it seems like there are so many mistakes i'm making i would be impossible to fix them all.
-you can't please everyone. and i know i have to get better at taking criticism.
-writers are strange creatures and i am far from ever being one, thank goodness.

   so, i guess this just leaves me with the conclusion that i still like to write, and that's really what matters. i like the things i put on paper and they sound nice to me, so i'll keep putting them haha (: that's just fine by me.
happy new year everyone.
i hope it's a really great one. <3
