Free Thoughts

Amber told me this was going to be easy but reading the comments, I wonder why I jumped at the chance to do this without thinking about it further.

I was excited, I really was! Amber was so great at selling this to me, she said to think of it as a diary where I could tell my deepest secrets and fears.

Only this 'diary' would give me suggestions and help if I needed it. I thought it would be easy, I can write a diary, I've been writing in one all my life but this...this is so NOT like a diary!!!

I don't know what to do now, everyone seems to have prejudged me without given me a chance.

I think that stinks!!! I'm not a bad person, I'm not!!! I may have down some questionable things in the past, hurt my best friend and had a hand in hurting her little girl too BUT if Amber can forgive me, why can't a brunch of strangers who weren't affected by my mistake?

I'm not a bad person, I just made a mistake.

Who here hasn't done something they knew was wrong?

Amber told me not to let the comments run me out of the blog, she said that it's hard to take the bad with the good but in the end it's worth it.

She's normally right.

I hate that...

Personally, I think people are jumping the gun with judging the change in story. It may be different for us but at the same time change isn't always a bad thing. Personally, I say Janie go for it!!! I'll still read either way.

I can completely see why "janie' would be taking over. We were told Amber would be posting still but I am sure its hard to continue the story line when there is no real drama going on in Amber's life, shes trying not to be a busy body so we don't get much insight into the lives around her and Im sure A doesnt want to have amber and reed break up so we are gonna learn about a new couple with new problems and kinks. it makes sense. I think as long as we still get to know about amber and reed, well all be happy.

I'm looking forward to Janie's posts. Just think about it, if Angela keeps writing Amber's, something bad or dramatic would have to happen to keep it interesting. This gives her a chance to continue the story without having to upset Amber & Reed's lives while still being able to do periodic updates. I'm loving the change! Great job as usual!

I wish the writer chose to make Sean a bad guy, that would have given more to Amber's story. But I'm curious to see what Janie can bring to us. BRING IT ON GIRL!!!!

p.s. Don't listen to the comments, people hate change, and I'm sure once they start reading about Janie, they'll be as hooked as they were w/Amber's story.

Go for it Janie....... but have someone proofread your work before you post it. There are numerous typos and errors in this short post!

And before everyone goes off on me - NO - I don't want to write my own blog because, quite honestly, I don't have the time. However, I do enjoy reading them. Unfortunatley (for Janie) I'm an English teacher and grading people's writing is sort of what I do every day. Sorry :(

I for one am looking forward to this.

I think Janie can tell her side of the story now, and the change will be a good thing, although I did love the blog when Amber was writing.. Bring it on Janie! :)

Let the haters hate. I'm looking forward to reading from Janie's perspective.

If people don't like the change, they don't need to read it. I am looking forward to hearing from Janie and her adventures. As long as we still hear about Amber and her life with Reed. Don't listen to people who are negative. Go for it and post a real post! I am so excited about it! Can't wait to read it!

Since I'm in love with all your blogs this change can only be for the better although I will miss Amber's story it's good to know she will post when something exicting happens. I so hate the end of romance novels cause I prefer for the love & drama to go on forever.

People do hate change in general. But don't let that stop you from trying your best. I am sure you will have your very own fan club by the time we start reading your story. Just start at the beinging and go with it. I can't wait for it ...........so get a move on girl. What you waiting for? LOL

Don't let the negativity get to you.

Turn off the anon comments if necessary, but don't let their negativity get in the way of what you want to do with your blog.

I will continue to read and enjoy your posts every day! To continue creating and have it be fun and not a chore, artists and writers HAVE to follow their own path.

I've been at work exactly 10 minutes and I have already checked this blog. I'm hooked no matter where the story goes. To echo another comment, "BRING IT ON!"

I agree with the other posters, don't worry about the negative comments. Just tell your story and let them decide if they will read it. I for one am looking forward to hearing all about your adventures and don't let Devon in too soon. If you ask me, he has more making up to do!!!

I really don't care who its about as long as you KEEP WRITING. I've just gotten used to checking your 3 blogs about 4xs a day and I don't want to downgrade. Keep up the good work. I look forward to every post!
