I have a fun post
I make on social media
every Friday
and Saturday.
Readers LOVE it
and I do too.
Lately, I’ve noticed
that other writers (the competition)
have been super critical of each post.
They pick it apart,
saying why it isn’t logical, etc.
This happens so often
I believe it is intentional.
They are trying
to make me feel bad
about the posts,
hoping this will stop me
from making them.
I have a reader
who hates a certain thing
in books.
That certain thing
is in ALL of my books.
She otherwise enjoys my books.
But she 1- and 2-stars them,
mentioning this one thing
because she hopes,
by doing that,
it will suck all of the fun
out of those scenes for me,
and I’ll stop writing them.
Criticizing you
and your products/services
is one way
your competitors
and other people
who don’t like you
for who you are
control you.
KNOW this is what
they’re doing.
Know also that
you shouldn’t allow yourself
to be manipulated
by people
who do sh*tty things
like this.
Keep being awesome.
