Nguaaaaaaahhh. I really kind of a little hate your mother right now D: WHYY. You deserve to be showered with SPARKLES OKAY. You're awesome! You're so clever, and talented, and FUN and GORGEOUS. WHY IS NO ONE APPRECIATING YOUR AWESOMENESS IN A DESERVING MANNER, I ASK. NGAHHHFJGHHG KNOW THAT I ADORE YOU OKAY YOU BRILLIANT WOMAN, YOU.
THAT SAID - *shakes fist at the wicked, wicked world* - yay fanmixes! Consider them snagged and APPRECIATED. Like WHOA. Also, that's some pretty cover art, love!
Your mother though... you know, she's never shown any interest in your writing. I think you're just going to have to let that one go. I know, maybe she SHOULD show interest- but if she never does, I don't think she suddenly will. So maybe you need to stop showing her stories. It's bound to hurt less... Anyway, it's not my place to give you advice, I just hate seeing you so sad.
But then why, when I ask her if she wants to read them, does she say things like, "Of course I do! I didn't know whether I could ask!"
WHY?
And I keep comparing this in my head to my mother fondly telling people over and over throughout my life how my brother used to write such lovely stories (during what must have been a very, very short time in his life) and how she found a story of his in his backpack and it was wonderful.
Whereas all I get it the mixed message of "I'm never going to ask to see your stories but I want to!" and "I'm never going to say I liked it or thought it was good, just that I can't read you English because it's too high a level for poor little me who reads novels in English all the time."
I am bitter. I am a huge lemon of bitterness. This is me and my lemon of bitterness:
I didn't know that your mum has been sending you mixed messages of teh crazy. I still think her actions speak louder than her words, though, which is very unfortunate. Maybe she genuinely wants to read the stories, but when the actual time comes... Well, I just think that she's not going to do it. So instead of being constantly hopeful and then disappointed, I know that I would just stop offering them to her.
Unless by story you meant the one I've just linked to you in which case I am a) an idiot, b) obviously suffering from the heat and c) still ridiculously proud of that thing. Apologies all around.

I think you did the cover art for those fanmixes beautifully.

Thanks! Although really all I did was take flickr photos and up the contrast and meddle with the colours. But! I'll take the credit anyway. Muahaha!

I'm sorry that things suck.
