Hello again!
Today it's Tuesday 28th of April (but any other day you are reading it it's fine) and I am writing this note because these last days and most specifically yesterday and today I read some quite (how can I say it) rude comments and I would like to make some things clear!
First of all, I want to thank everyone for reading my books, I had never thought of all these and you have to know this is a very important thing for me! I love reading comments generally but...
Some are really rude and disgrateful so I have to explain some things because I am not going to answer to any comment that is rude anymore! This note is mostly for the really ironic and offensive, rude comments and people I have seen in this app so the rest people don't have to worry, I just want to share with you how I feel and maybe the other side of the coin, the writer's.
Most of the people that read my books know or can easily understand that English is not my first language, I am Greek and I had years to use English! I am not even going to say that no one can affect me about my plots because I am not changing them for anyone and anything cause I have also read too offensive comments for this and some other books of mine.
As for my plots I am going to be clear! This is my imagination, my plots and I don't write a story just to write it! I have talked about it lots of times and I am going to repeat it for one last time, through my stories I want to express my opinions, my thoughts and beliefs (I am not writing a story just to write it), I am not saying I am right or not, nobody is perfect and I have no problem with those that disagree with me but I have a huge problem with those that reach at conclusions too easily without reading or being patient! If someone doesn't like the story line then he can easily stop reading the story, I have no problem at all but he can't tell me if the story is like all the others or not!
Don't try to offend not me but other writers and the other readers that like the story. If you are against some things I want to talk about in my books (forgiveness, hatred, self improvement, regret, pain, second chances, mistakes, misunderstandings, egoism, etc) it's fine but when someone wants to be rude and mean like some that did it (and I am doing them a favor I haven't replied the way they deserve to)...
Well, then they can write their own books or go to another book (because I have read comments that all the stories in here are the same and I honestly find it offensive for everyone that tries to share something with other people), it's so easy!
So about my English, I am aware of the mistakes and believe me I am sorry but I am not sorry I am not taking a proofreader and I am going to tell you exactly why!
These books are a part of me, it's my imagination, my creation, my 'kids' and this is who I am! I am not perfect as everyone else and so are my books, they are not perfect, they have their mistakes but this is what I can do and I am trying to improve them gradually by correcting them without most of the readers understanding it!
Also, this is mostly my hobby, I am not getting paid although they have asked from me to have a contract and the fact that people are so quick to commend and say their bitterness is not getting me mad, it hurts me!
I have read hundreds of books in this app and many others and believe me lots of books made no sense to me but I never ever tried to pressure someone to get a proofreader or something or I commended saying "Your english sucks". I appreciate everyone's work and I did read them all because at least they are trying to do something creative for themselves and they also want to share their best with other people, so I don't understand some people and I really don't want to!
I came to the worst point to tell some to stop reading my books and for me it's rude to say it but neseccary when they keep on commending and being ironic and mean. This happened in this book and in some other books of mine, one of them is the one with the most views I have (Alpha's Abused Mate.).
If they don't try to write and see how difficult it is, they have to at least respect some things because I would also like to see them writing in Greek (but we can't have everything in this life)!
In my life till now I have done everything on my own and getting a proofreader is too easy and not fine by me and for me! I never liked easy solutions and I won't do it now!
Whoever 'likes' my books maybe should accept that my English are not prefect and they are never going to be perfect probably but this is who I am and after lots of years of having problem for whom I am, I am perfect and I love me!
So, we are finished from this thing, I am sorry if I said something too offensing for some but sometimes I also need to say my point of view and I would like to inform you about something else as well!
I won't stop writing because I feel good to know that so many people are really enjoying my stories! I love making people happy because I know how it feels like to be miserable dealing with problems and losses or anything else, we all have our own problems!
You are all the best no matter if we agree or not as for my story lines because you are all unique on your own way! This is the world's magic and our power but we have to believe it and I began believing more in me from the moment I began writing and I met you!
So, this is it!
I love you, I adore you and feel happy I have you!
See you again but until then be safe, happy and believe in your magic because you are unique and this is what matters!
Love you all,
Marie!
