Nowadays, writing is kind of difficult because of situations like these. Sadly, we can't do anything about it other than keep writing and hoping that some days, people will stop being rude.

Writing is one of the hardest thing but I am glad to have this in my life. It helps in many ways.

I'm so glad I've never had situations like the ones mentioned. I've had people ask for me to continue one-shots but it's always been in a kind way. I was always flattered to be asked. I'm sure I wouldn't feel the same if the person was demanding or rude.

Which book by Gaiman are you waiting to read?

It is flattering that people ask for sequel but some don't really have any manner. Sadly ::sigh::

This is The ocean at the end of the lane. Have you read it?
