further thoughts on being a social jackass
OKAY, by this point I realize I have a billion comments to reply to. This is just not going to happen.
I love every comment I get and I squeal and flail my hands whenever I hear the tiny "ding!" from my inbox signalling a new comment's arrival. But currently, I am probably hundreds of comments behind on things I've missed in my journal and in other people's journals so I am going with the dick move of a CLEAN SLATE.
I will still try to go back and answer any fic comments wherein someone has actually addressed a direct question to me, but that's it. Anything else and I can only say thank you, thank you to those comments I get on my sad, monkey+typewriter attempts at fiction.
I'm going to try to be better about replying in the future, but right now I hate to even LOOK at my LJ because the guilt is nearly overwhelming UGH. And that's not fair to me or to you guys because the more I avoid my LJ because I feel like a giant dillhole, the less you see of anything I write.
So, yes: Operation Clean Slate. I will try to reply more betterer from this point forward, but please don't be offended if I don't respond to your comment every time. I really, honestly, truly treasure every single comment I get -- and I read every one! -- but I simply do not have time to reply to each individual comment any longer. I hate that this is the case because I feel like I meet cool people through comments. However, ultimately I have to manage my time more efficiently, and spending hours replying to comments each day takes away from time that I have for other things, like writing. (And with the amount of comments and messages I get yelling at me to finish things, I think most of you will agree that me managing my time better is for the best! Uh, hopefully.)
I'm really grateful for all your awesome comments, your support, your thoughts on my random life stories and my fiction, and your ideas and suggestions. They encourage me more than you'll know! And you guys are amazing for taking the time to leave comments at all.
Now, I am off on a Memorial Day excursion, so I will see you cats tomorrow evening. ♥
