Well, celmive... I guess not everyone is a fan, or even mildly appreciative of the effort I give.
I guess I could defend myself with the 15 published books I wrote by myself, and the handful I collaborated on with others, as well as the unpublished output, but what would be the point? After all, as a "part-time artist" without any amazing output, what on Earth could I possibly say that would have merit?
I've never claimed to be amazing, but honestly I have never been slammed because I wasn't amazing. I've been slammed for some pretty valid reasons on these boards - those critiques just make me want to do better for everyone the next time around, but to be slammed for not being amazing? How on Earth does that even help me? Do you really expect people to be amazing at everything they do? And then, if they aren't amazing, immediately dismiss anything they offer? Can't you find value in something less than amazing? Curious standard you hold.
Have a nice day, celmive. You've certainly pissed in my Cheerios for no particular reason and given a rather sour note to my day, but still... have a nice day.
