Tell me your pet peeves.

I'll start.


One of my pet peeves is the mistyping on my phone screen's keyboard. I know I am the cause, but i think phones' on-screen keyboards should be larger.

For example. I typed in "pet perves" while typing "pet peeves"....

Readers that can’t read the synopsis of a story. I mean, I feel like a lot of people must not read synopsis of stories with any sort of critical eye. I’ve gotten comments in early chapters that go: “Rose can’t catch a break, I’ll drop the story.”

Yeah, no kidding? The synopsis says she was tossed out and is fighting against the world itself in many ways to carve out her freedom. Even used the words ‘Rose Against The Heavens.’ What were you expecting going into a story that claims its main character is ‘Raging, an adversary to a cruel world’? Hmm?

I wouldn’t even be mildly annoyed if they said it in like chapter 60 or something but, no, they say it at chapter 21. And I’m like ??? That’s barely 20% of the current chapter count (which is more than a hundred btw), how can you claim she never catches a break? (she does btw, but telling them that seems useless)

And then there’s Readers who think their inputs to the story must be taken seriously and written by the author. Yeah no

How to handle them? If you’ve been in this ‘business’ as long as I have, you learn that there’s no shame in losing some readers. No one story will fit everyone’s taste. So, you don’t ‘handle them’, you nod at their comments and just continue what you do best: write.

Well, this reminds me, one of my current work is choose your own adventure, and I hate it when trolls chose option like stop this series. I shouldn't pay attention to them, but they really do hurt the motivation.

My pet peeve is when my baby falls asleep while sucking on my nipple, and I move him to the crib five minutes later, and then he wakes up and wants more.

That one typo that you catch on one of your previous chapters that you know you've gone over REPEATEDLY for the umpteenth time! Ugh!
