What do you call a person who makes it a point to know your business? One who comes to your place and rifles through your stuff and then shouts to the masses the dirt that they find? Some would call that a creeper, stalker, or a troll. Know what I call it? A secret admirer.
No apologies, right?
I had someone call me a “porn writing freak”, or something to that tune yesterday. More sweet words from my secret admirer. You cut me deep, luv.
Initially I was upset and then I realized that I’m writing what I like. My faith and my writing may not match up, but I never claimed chastity or piety (I’d be a liar then). I’ve not done half of it, but that’s the beauty of writing. Taking a thought, a fantasy, an impossibility and transferring it into written words that touch someone else. Or arouses them, or makes them think, or even makes them angry. It’s a reaction because ultimately if you react I know you felt something!
And you’re feeling a lot right now, aren’t you?
I was set to write something discussing niche as a writer. Where do I fit as both a writer and blogger when it comes to attracting readers? What should I be talking about? Who should I be?
But I realized that’s not important. If I write it, they will come. They will react and my work here is done. So maybe I’ll discuss my views on my place as a writer some other time. I’ll leave you with some Ed Sheeran. While I have a literary crush on Remittance Girl, Ed writes lyrics that make my heart go pitter patter.
For my secret admirer on St. Patty’s Day. 🙂
Oh, the trouble I attract!

If you write it, they will cum.

Lol. Yes, yes, yes.
Never heard of him before. Enoyed his performance, lyrics and sentiments of the song. Yup. “You need, man, I don’t need you.” 😉

Listen to some of his other stuff. Kiss Me, A Team, Give Me Love are all good.
Thanks for the recommendation. I just added “I don’t need you” to my playlist. I look up the other songs, right now! 🙂

The others are excellent.
They are! Just listened to them all and added them to my playlist. Thank you!
If the haters want to hate then that’s up to them. you can’t change that and it’s good to see you aren’t letting this one get to you. don’t change how/what you write and don’t compromise yourself.

If I could shut the stories off, I’d stop. Too many stories crowding my brain to stop though.
That’s the gift/curse of being a writer

True story…
Hard not to do I know, but don’t sweat it. Everyone has opinions. Write what you want to write. Unfortunately, I think there is hardly anyone who’s written something and put it out there, which didn’t meet criticism by someone.

Too true. You gotta take the good with the bad I think. 🙂
Why can’t people either have an open mind, or just mind their own business?! GRRRR ::shakes fist at your stalker::
Author
Having an open mind is hard for some people apparently. It’s frustrating but not surprising.
I love Ed Sheeran and I fully believe in you writing what you want to write on your blog.
Ahhhhh, Ed Sheeran 🙂 Glad to know he’s getting known over there.

Good luck! 🙂
