-Message to all those people who don't have a good taste in reading haters-
If you don't like this story, fine, be like that, but stop posting hurtful comments
How would you like it If someone told you that you're story sucked, I know that I would cry
Jesus Freak put so much effort into this, I just don't get how you can put her down like that

I realize that I am probably about to start world war 3 with this comment, but It just makes me so angry

I personally love your series Jesus Freak and I think its awesome how it got published

When you make something public, you open yourself to criticism, some people will be nice about it, and others wont. That's something you must acknowledge. If you only want to hear good things, and you can't handle the bad, you shouldn't be posting and publishing stories. Criticism is what helps you learn what you need to work on, and helps you better yourself and your work.

I believe that if you really want to be a serious writer, you can't take everything personally. You also need to put yourself in the shoes of the people who say these things, and think about why they do.

I completely agree with you there, and some people are just giving helpful but harsh criticism, but there Is a difference between criticism and just plain mean

I don't mean to be rude, but the acronym, "TIAJNAD" is incorrect. Also with the title.
Minor words such as, "a, the, and, is" do not need to be capitalized. However, if it's being stressed, (Eg, "NOT") the whole word is caped. Minor words also don't show in acronyms. TIAJNAD would be incorrect, as minor words appear. "TJND" would be the correct acronym for your book.

I hope you take my constructive criticism in a good way. I do see that "TIAJNAD" has become popular, it doesn't need to be changed but if you are planning to write another book (Not part of TJND) i'm hoping you'll remember this.

Thanks for reading,

i'd like to say that i think tiajnad sounds better because of the fact that you can actually say it instead of spelling it out? like you can actually pronounce it as if it's a word.

Yes, I've been studying my English more and I do see that minor words do not get capitalized. Thank you for your helpfulness and for being nice about it, though! :)

That is true... TJND is a bit hard to pronounce, but it does make more sense. Though I can't edit it now (at least the published version), so I can't really do anything about it anyway...

That depends on the writer - the people who are criticising may not see it as being mean. Yes, there are some boundaries, I agree, but a lot of the time, criticism is often misinterpreted as hate.

I've highlighted some part of my post as you didn't seem to understand it properly.

"That depends on the writer - the people who are criticising may not see it as being mean. Yes, there are some boundaries, I agree, but a lot of the time, criticism is often misinterpreted as hate."

Besides, a lot of the time it's more your 'fans'. I'm talking about comments like: this, this, this and especially this. You're simple taking what I said before to the extreme, either that or you don't understand the comment correctly.

Ah, I think I see now. I didn't take it as hate, I appreciated most of it. Though I think most of the fans were taking it as hate... Now, if some people are "extreme" (as I posted before), then I will take that as hate. But I usually see the difference between hate and criticism, or at least I try to.
