So...hey, that's a topic we could talk about in this thread! Does other people's work ever make you feel insecure about yours? If so, how do you handle that feeling?
Great question! Yes and no, it makes me feel insecure in that I am the first to claim I am not a professional writer and so everyone else has that advantage over me. However, other peoples work has inspired me to share the stories I have collected in my heart over the years. I want others to experience the plethora of feelings I feel when I read great stories, when they hear mine, but mostly I am in experimentation mode and has become a fun hobby :)
On a side note, my second installment of cursed beauty has zero plumbobs in the pics LOL - so thanks for the tips everyone!!
See, I get insecure when people claim that they are not professional writers. ;)
It's just...like a lot of the hate that I took during the Bad Times was because people thought I took Sims stories too seriously, that I put too much effort and time into them, that, to quote one of the hate secrets I saw: "a plummy Sims story isn't art".
So when people start talking about how you don't get awards for Sims stories, or how it's not professional writing, or how it's just for fluff and silliness, or how the Sims game as a medium isn't fit for anything but light stories, my antenna goes up and my brain says "Danger, Will Robinson!" Because I've learned that people who talk like that tend to not like me.
