When you get hate, do you just ignore it, or do you respond and correct the person? Or if you've never been hated on, do you think you're meant for writing? Because I think you'll be a successful author one day! :D
I respond to it sometimes. Hehehe. I’m lucky enough na ang readers ko here in this community ay puro genuine people lang. :(
I always try to respond to it maturely, anon! After all, I am responsible in handling my readers, no matter how small or big they are in number.
I do have my lapses din in writing. I remember one reader who called me out for that one story I posted, so I went to talk things through with them din properly. Kasi I’m a learning writer din. Not just simply a writer.
As for the question if I’m meant for writing—in my mind kasi, writing is not something you need to be qualified for to be called one. Hehehe. Writing is my way of expressing my thoughts and feelings lang talaga. My way of sharing my learnings. My way of reminding others that they are deserving of receiving good things too. The moment you thought of something and had the urge to express them through words, you are already a writer. >< Just write responsibly, okay? Hehe!
I always try to see the hate as a way to gain new learnings, pero kapag below the belt na, I call them out. Defend yourself if you have to, eka nga. That’s us being human. Hindi tama na saktan tayo ng iba just because they have the freedom to do so. 😄
Iyan din ang sinusubukan kong i-instill sa mga mambabasa ko. Na words carry weight thus we have to be careful with it. Na maging responsable tayo palagi. Hehe! Kapag nag-hate sila ng iba, ibig sabihin hindi ko tala ‘yun! 😁🤣 Iyon lang! Feel free to ask more. ><
