I’ve not been feeling great for the last few weeks, so rather than a normal tutorial post I thought I’d do something simple and silly about writer comments and their translations. Hope you enjoy it 🙂
Would you like to read this chapter when you have some time? No rush.
Translation: Stop everything you are doing and read this. Now!
Tell me what you think and be honest, I can take it.
Translation: Oh my God, please don’t say anything negative. I sweated blood on this for like 4 years and if you give so much as an eye twitch will send me crying in the corner.
You don’t like my protagonist? Oh okay, no I understand, that’s fine.
Translation: What is wrong with you!? My protagonist is awesome and how can you not see that? You’re dead to me!
Yes, I have a little case of writers’ block right now, but it’s fine, it doesn’t really bother me anymore. It’ll pass any day now.
Translation: Holy Hell, this is never going to end!!! I will never write another word ever. I’m done, I’ll never be a real writer. *throws a tantrum on the rug*
I love every aspect of writing, yes even editing.
Translation: I think I have read this damn manuscript so many times it’s starting to blur and I just keep putting in words and then taking them out on the next pass. GOD, I HATE EDITING!!! When will this end?
Pfft, no I don’t mind if I never become a full-time writer. It’s all good.
Translation: Please let me be a full-time writer and be paid to do the one thing I truly love. I don’t know how long I can hold my crazy back in my “normal” job and I’ve already run through enough murder scenes for my boss, that I am seriously wondering if I’m actually going to turn into a serial killer one of these days.
Oh yes, book signings seem like a great idea. I would love to do one.
Translation: Serious!? People expect me to read aloud from my own book, then answer questions and make eye contact with readers!? Are you people insane!? *introvert overload*
Being a writer is awesome, it’s what I was born to do.

Dry nice humor with your interpretations – hah
And side note – for your headaches – try magnesium!
I know soooooooo many folks who have eradicated headaches with a good mag supplement – ((and the cluelessdoctors blog lady has done research and uses magnesium for thousands))
Anyhow – – magnesium chloride is one of the best – -and “ancient minerals” sells a spray (under ten dollars) so you can get absorbable magnesium transdermally
–
But Trader Joe’s has a cal-mag in a green base that is highly absorbable –
But I also like a “solaray” mag
And sorry to ramble – but I really believe we all could benefit from more magnesium – especially those who had headaches –
And the good news is that it will (or can) infuse your writing cos when one is more balanced that helps all things –
Peace
Thanks for your comment, and I will look into magnesium. If it will shift the damn things, I’m happy 🙂
Just remember that.not all magnesium is equal!
So true lol. This post’s great and fun :). Glad you managed to get the post out. Forgive me for sounding daft but this blog hop, what is it? I know you’ve been doing it but I don’t know what it is
Hey hun, Julie Valeria runs the Monthly Fiction Blog Hop. Last Wednesday of every month, there is an optional topic but any topic about writing/books will do. You write it, then link it to the Blog Hop Page. Then you can check out the other hoppers. It’s fun, you should definitely give it a go.
