]]> Comment on I speak out because Kevin Smith said it helps… by vjchambers http://www.vjchambers.com/blogging/i-speak-out-because-kevin-smith-said-it-helps/#comment-44820 vjchambers Mon, 07 May 2012 23:10:41 +0000 http://www.vjchambers.com/?p=924#comment-44820 Oh, it's too bad you aren't crazy about Release. It was a lot of fun for me, so I wanted it to be fun for you. (It's okay if it's not fun, of course, but it's too bad for you, because you've invested time in unappealing entertainment, which always sucks.) But see, that's weird, right, because it doesn't really bother me if people don't like what I wrote. I don't mind if they tell me it's bad or whatever. The first couple minutes after hearing it/reading it usually makes my tummy a little queasy (if I'm completely honest), but after that, I'm over it. But I get really freaked out when I feel like people are essentially calling me some kind of pervert. And it REALLY bothers me when people imply that I'm doing something that would harm teenagers. I don't want to hurt anyone. And I'm not a bad person. So... Anyway, no need to rehash my blog post. Thanks for your comment, and thanks so much for reading Release. It's such a weird combination of stuff...romance, space opera, serial rapists, revenge... I'm really grateful that you gave it a chance! :) I like your suggestion. I don't think I've got anyone in my life who'd do that for me right now (at least not on my time frame, anyway. Why don't boyfriends live to serve me, hmm?), but maybe when I'm insanely rich, I could pay someone to do it. For some reason, I can't stay away from reviews. I have to know what they say. I'm a sucker for punishment, maybe. Oh, and I haven't seen Jersey Girl yet. I should watch it, though. You're right. Oh, it's too bad you aren't crazy about Release.

I love Kevin Smith. I love Jersey Girl and I think everyone should watch it- lots of interesting things about sex in that one. Anyhoo, have you ever considered having someone read reader reviews FOR you and then condense the accolades and whippings so you can hear it all but in a more...I dunno, maybe so you're able to be one step removed from it? You could then see it as critique rather than personal criticism. I love you stories and your ideas. Some work super well and some not so much, but that's everything in life. I'll admit I'm not crazy about Release. I haven't finished it yet so I won't say anything more now. But yeah, I never finished college because I can't handle even critique. I get embarrassed and then can no longer think clearly at all. Now I'm rambling. So, thanks for your contributions to the book world! Hey hey hey! I love Kevin Smith.

The spam I intercept takes a good half hour a day to go through. :( I keep trying to do things to make it less, but so far, no dice. Director's cut? Maybe someday! But right now, I'm quite glad to be done with that series. The thought of writing about those characters right now isn't quite a welcome thought. Six books was enough. ;) Sorry about Intense Debate.
