again.  Unfortunately, I am quickly becoming discouraged with my story
and in my website in general.  Ever since my website was Slashdotted, I've
recieved countless emails, online messages and website and 'blog' links that
constantly complain about my poor writing ability, poor implimentation of my
website and story, and my blatent ripping off of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
I do try my best to not let these things get to me, but there is only so many
things that I can read before I begin to wonder if they're seeing something
wrong with what I am doing that I do not.  It also makes me wonder perhaps if I
should have stopped with just one story and moved on to something else.

Hey Anthony.
Like others have said before, ignore comments that are coming from a place
of ignorance.  So many people feel they have a right to just break down
something just because they can. Their comments are meant to make themselves
feel superior because they try to make you feel inferior.  But remember,
there are always more critics than artists.. and it is the artists that
matter in the long run.

Having said that, I had a writing professor in college, who, whenever you
brought something to him, he'd tell you something was wrong with it.  no
matter what, no matter how good, he'd find what could be better - where you
weaknesses are.  but he'd also tell you what to do to make it better, skills
or things to keep in mind in the writing/revising process.

now, i'm a fan of the chronicles, but i also see things that could use work.
i'm not the best writer myself (and not much of one, volumn-wise, either).
but the chronicles are getting better over time, IMO, and that means something.

SO, ignore the random negativity that the internet often brings, and listen
to your friends here at lugnet.  we give good positive criticism (both what
you did well, and where to improve), and more importantly, we ENJOY the
chronicles immeansely!!

But don't worry though, I'll at least put all I have into Chapter 3, and I will
still try my best to finish this story, just as I finished the first.

Anyway, forgive my ramblings.  I guess sometimes we all need to vent our
frustrations in public.

And thanks for the feedback.

--Anthony
