I published a new story today, "Cowboy Up But Not Down." Its a long story with a plot and a couple of subplots. I appreciate all the positive feedback and constructive comments. I take the comments very seriously and with each story try to improve from the last story. I have only been writing since last May and only have 12 stories published, with almost a million readers for all the stories, mostly in the Loving Wives section. I am honored that one story is liked enough to be in the HOF. As everyone knows this genre it is a hornets nest, a den of the most poisonous reptiles on earth. I have largely ignored the haters (that is what i like to call them) because the same people hate no matter how the story is written or if the story is BTB or RAAC story.
These same people (the haters) don't even, for the most part, read the stories but skim through them. How do they know what the plot is or if there is even a sub-plot. The realize the husband either dumps the wife or takes the wife back, often, begrudgingly, and usually with extenuating reasons. There is a host of reasons why a husband might reconcile with his wife and all are justifiable. If the haters bothered to read the story properly then they might realize why the husband takes his wife back. Today the haters sent an email, then went back to all my other stories and left a nasty comment and scored them a 1. That is pretty low.
I think my story is an example of why a husband takes often the wife back, because he cannot afford to divorce her because he would have to split everything 50/50, in this case 1,000 acres of his ranch.
The ranch had been in the family for a century and he could not dream of ever parting with even an acre.
I turned off voting and comments on this story because I realized many would not like it and told everyone if they wanted to comment send an email. I have received dozens of the most hateful email I have ever seen. I've had a pretty thick skin up until now but I'm tired of reading this riffraff. My future stories will either been in the erotic couplings or mature category. The haters only comment anonymously and are obviously frightened to come out in public and say such hateful things. They hide behind the cloak of ambiguity.
This story could be improved, granted, i know that. I wrote the story in one week, let it set for two weeks then came back and revised it a dozen times in order to make it more realistic. Then i spent a solid month editing and proofing. I even have an expensive grammar checker that i ran it through.
Some of you might suggest that i need an editor, in fact, I have two but they are so busy with their family life they have not been able to work with me for the past several weeks.
The haters should be thankful people take the time to write and submit a story to . Nobody gets paid or recognition for writing a story. OI read a comment a few weeks ago saying they were disappointed that there were only two stories in the Loving Wife genre that day. I wonder why? As for myself, i have long been a reader but now at an old age well past retirement I am trying to write to keep my mind sharp. I think i have come a long way since my first story but the need for improvement is always there.
Enough of a rant, sorry and thanks for taking the time to read this. I needed to vent.
