WARUMMMMMMMMMMMM
Dec. 7th, 2012 10:30 pm30k words in and I suddenly have second thoughts about one of the character's speaking style.
Last night there was a discussion on stuff on FB, the issues it touched on was quite wide, but it once again highlighted one thing about some people which I hate: entitlement. I'm not talking about how people think they're entitled to own things, have rights, etc (which is also grating), but the sort where someone says "yeah but I did this for free, bent over backwards so that you can enjoy the fruits of my labour, Y U NO RESPECT?"
Er. If I think you're doing it wrong, or if I don't enjoy what you offer, then I don't have any gratitude. If I think you're ultimately only doing it for yourself anyway, but just felt like showing everyone, then I'll thank you if I enjoyed your work, but only then. If I sewed a dress for myself and showed it to everyone, do I throw a fit if they don't like it and say they ought to thank me for the visual pleasure?
Weirdoes.
