I'm sorry. I know I'm too defensive over something that isn't a big deal. I'm not going to lie, it's not just about my pride, please hear me out.CaptainChewbacca wrote:Quit being so defensive, skeeter. We don't know how long you sleep, and you're starting alot of semi-clueless threads.
Pace yourself.
Frankly this sounds like a serious psychological issue. Assuming this isn't a bizarre metaphor, it's also a bad idea. Admitting and learning from your mistakes is a vital skill which children absolutely should see in their role models.avianmosquito wrote:When I write, I can't seem to back off, or think, or even admit I've made a mistake because I'm worried what she'll think... I hope you understand.

Dude, this is a story for your daughter? Aww, it all makes sense now. Heck yea, make this stuff as fabulous as possible, it will give her some joy.avianmosquito wrote:When I write, I can't seem to back off, or think, or even admit I've made a mistake because I'm worried what she'll think, and I don't want to see that look on her face when she says "Daddy, why? Why are you so hard on yourself?" I know this doesn't sound so bad, I've been told much worse, but it's just painful, especially since I can't answer her question. I try, I try to answer her, "I'm not" or "It's all true" but I can't. I can't say anything, I can't tell my little girl her role model isn't worth it. I hope you understand.
No, it's not just for her, although it might be dedicated to her, and it's not a children's story, (I might write the occasional "young adult" short story) but she's one of the people that proofreads for me. (The only reliable one, might I add.) But I will occasionally put an idea in because I think it'll appeal to her.

May your daughter turn out better than I would expect given what I know about half of her genetic source.avianmosquito wrote:No, it's not just for her, although it might be dedicated to her, and it's not a children's story, (I might write the occasional "young adult" short story) but she's one of the people that proofreads for me.
