Seriously? Someone *flamed* you? You, whose work has often left me green with envy and gasping with awe over how fucking great it is? Well, I wouldn't give a tinkers damn what that idiot thought because you got chops, sister. Crazy good chops.
If a flame is designated as something meant to make you feel like crap. It wasn't obscene or scary. A couple of years ago, it wouldn't have bugged me nearly as much. I've gotten old and slow or something and can't duck a punch anymore.
Point me in the direction of the person who sent you hate mail. I'll set fire to her feet and melt her laptop. The nerve! Has she written one brilliant novel after another? I don't think so. Does she have one tenth your imagination? Apparently not. Grrr. She's an idiot!
No idea if it was a her or him, but that's got to be the worst punishment an Internet junkie could ever suffer. Karma will eat zie's motherboard. Thank you for a (laptop) warming bit of imaginary revenge.
Oh man, I just want to hug you and bring you homemade cookies plus some Jack Daniels Old No. 7. What? Jack and chocolate chip cookies are great together!
More seriously, I think how you're feeling is more the result of how stretched thin you've been for so long. You do so much, you work so hard. Whatever this person said, it isn't true. You must know that, you must know how brilliant a writer you are.
And it would break my heart if you disappeared from the internet.

Probably. Certainly. If I step back and look at things objectively I can see all the little cracks forming.
But I never meant that to be a threat of flouncing off the Internet. I'll probably still be here when everyone else has found something brighter and shinier.
Also, I need to stop watching or reading any news. Since I never had kids, I always sort of hoped everything would wait to go to hell until after I was dead.
Oh, I didn't read your post as a threat to flounce! But I do understand an impulse to step away for a while. I'm actually experiencing it a bit myself right now.
I need to stop watching or reading any news
Oh god, yes. So distressing. I often give thanks that I never had kids; the thought of what this beautiful world is turning into is just heartbreaking.
