Soapbox Moment
 | Well, I've had some time to cool down, I'm still angry, but I'm not out of control anymore. It amazes me to go back and read what I wrote myself. It's scary to me that I would actually go that far. I guess the old wisdom is true, anger does cloud one's judgement. This is my way of apologizing for going off the handle like I did. It was me at my worst, something I should know better than to display over little things.
Now that I have that out of the way, I have something important I need clear up. That's the reason I've terminated the "New Direction" I had planned to take this. I'll keep it simple, and to the point.
----------
Reasons for Abandonment of Project New Direction:
1) Lack of Cohesive Element: This is the element that would have linked the other elements together using visuals. I had a character sketch that I wanted to be an important focus for the written material. The picture not being accepted made a serious dent in my overall objective, and frustrated me to no end. I know it was not denied due to size, and I refuse to believe the quality was in question, I've seen similar caliber work posted here.
As a sort of silent protest to that, I've removed everything I have control of on the page with any hint of color in it. The color will not return until my honor is satisfied. I have strong principles when it comes to such things, and plan to stick by them with everything I've got.
2) Lack of Interest: No one made any comments telling me what they liked, or disliked about the story part, which I tried to plot on with in an effort to save the New Direction. No news is not good news when it comes to creative works. If I didn't know people were reading, I couldn't continue the story, so it was scrapped.
The loss of both the visual and story elements meant that the little things I was working on for the New Direction had no basis, no foundation, and thus had to be scrapped as well, rendering the whole project null.
----------
That's my reasoning, like it, don't like it, agree with me, hate my guts. I was wrong in my assumptions before so I don't care what people think anymore. I'm used to being ignored, bullied, and left out of things. So why should I expect any different here?
Well, I've worked myself up again, I'd better go before something really harsh slips out again.
Anime Dreams,
