Letting Our Products Go

I’m very fortunate
that one of my series
has attracted quite a few fans.
That popularity means
readers are writing fanfic.
They’re writing their own stories
about my characters.

It is extremely challenging
to hear about my characters
doing or saying or feeling things
I know they wouldn’t.

But I have to allow that
to happen.
These fans bought my books
and are now playing with my characters.
I didn’t intend for them
to write their own stories
for their personal use
but they have that right.
They aren’t hurting anyone else.
I have to let my product go.

Odds are…
right now,
someone is using your product
in a way
you’re rather she/he not use it.

If it isn’t hurting anyone,
you should allow them
to continue.

We have to let
our products go.
