It was was also really King's wife Tabitha who convinced him to even finish the manuscript after fishing out the rough draft from the trash.

I suppose. Still, sometimes any word is better than no word at all. At least the person bothered to make his opinion known. And yes, I've heard of stories like that. J.K. Rowling went from publisher to publisher when she wrote the first Harry Potter book. The only reason she got her break was...

No, this is not another rant. I'm just discouraged. I'm now writing what could be my debut novel. I would like to get some feedback so I can make the book worthy of publication, so I'm posting my rough drafts of the chapters. Problem is I've written and posted 5 chapters, and posted them on...

Thank you. It's also disheartening when you're trying to write what could be your debut novel, then you post the rough drafts of the chapters for feedback on three different sites, and you get little to no feedback to 2 weeks. Not asking anybody to do anything. Just saying.

Thank you. I guess this is why I find writing fiction therapeutic. When I'm writing I'm in control of what happens.

Hey everyone. Thank you all for your words. Right now I'm feeling immense anxiety. I think one reason I often feel the way I do is because of my very inconsistent sleep patterns. I'm a night owl, and I live in a world of early birds. But it's not just sleep that's an issue. I just feel like I...

Thank you.

I'm blessed in a lot of ways, but I have my fair share of struggles. My Aspergers being one thing. Another is my melancholy personality and how easily I can become depressed. One more is my sense of loneliness and isolation. What I mean is I feel isolated from the rest of the world for reasons...

Thank you.

Once again, you sir know nothing of my life. Everyone, quit pretending like you know me like you know your best friend. If those were the reasons I didn't have friends I would've changed it a long time ago. I have Aspergers. It's very hard for me to emotionally connect with people and have...

Still, thank you for your patience. Means a lot.

If they'll have me. I'm 25, but thank you. (Well, I'm the youngest of three so I'm used to that)

Thank you very much. I seriously wish I could take back all those threads. I feel like I've accomplished nothing other than making a complete and utter fool of myself.

Are you sure it was God telling you that? Because if that's how God treats the complete and utter injustice those kids were forced to suffer, I wouldn't believe he truly loves them. Great love engenders great hatred. The opposite of love is not hatred but indifference. I feel alone also in the...

This may sound sad to some people, but I don't view my relationship with God as like a parent and their child. For one thing, I'm not as close to my parents as I used to be. Two, I'm an adult. Three, I don't understand how I'm supposed to have a "relationship" with a deity who's nothing like me...

Perhaps I'm just so sick of being disappointed that I don't expect much, if at all, from God or people now. Besides, God can do whatever he wants with me and I'd just have to deal with it.

I just want to be seen and heard for once and treated with respect rather than just being reminded of how idiotic and unbelonging I tend to feel in social situations. For someone like me, the message of freedom is MUCH more powerful than the message of love, specifically freedom from my...

What does that have to do with anything?

I also know it's stupid, but I come to places like here to make me feel like my opinions matter in a world where I have absolutely no power or influence otherwise. In summary, I'm sick of feeling like I just burden every person I come across, yet I feel powerless to do anything about it. I'll...

Honestly though, even if there are people here who want to help me, I'd just be wasting your time. I can't ask any of you to burden yourselves by listening to me rant, at least not intentionally. You don't need to be saddled with a basket-case. I already feel enough like a burden to the people...
