Ratings.

Love, people tend to just vote anything to try and get others users/writers to feel self conscious and bad about their writing. Don't take it to heart; just write the way that you're happy with and that should be enough. The worst thing with these voters is that most that won't give you a 10 never leave feedback on what you could do to improve.
You cant tell people to give you a high rating because you want it. Maybe they did think you needed that rating. People have different views. You shouldn't let a low rating make you want to stop writing forever. I know having low ratings suck, but you cant tell people not to give their opinion just because it make the rating lower and you don't want it. You know?
I think what's most frustrating is receiving a poor rating and not knowing why. The people who rate stories poorly without telling the author why are childish and you have to try not to pay them any mind. I'm not use to having ratings below a 10.0, but there's nothing I can do about people giving my story a 1.0 for no reason. It sucks :/ but they'll go back up.
I wanna know why I was looking at my books to check up, and the rates and votes were perfect. I was so proud of what I had done. But next thing I know, everything goes to a 1-5. What the hell did I do wrong? Am I not good enough for a 8, or even a 7?
I just want to know why in the hell my rates went down so low in under an hour.
And just because of that, I am seriously thinking about deleting all of my stories because apparently they're not good enough to be on here.
But I did nothing wrong to receive such poor ratings! I put everything and only everything into these books and now when I look at them, I think of how they're not good enough for anybody!
Which just makes me want to quit my dream and become a stupid dental assistant. But no, I don't want to be a stupid ass dental assistant because I don't want to stare at nasty fucking teeth all day!
Excuse my language please, but I am just very frustrated. I don't know why I have such low ratings if I'm so proud of what I've done.
Glad I got that off my chest. And now if you're the one who is giving poor ratings, please stop. I know that you're just being honest, and I know that the truth hurts. But high ratings makes me- and others- want to try harder. When you give low ratings, it makes us want to stop. You know what I mean?
I just don't want to be given a lower rate than I need. Okay? Okay. xx
