Author's Note

This is all that I had written before I decided to stop. I was going to continue, but then I got a review that really bothered me. I hate to admit it, but my feelings were hurt. I am, after all, a human being.

First of all, I think that I'm a pretty good speller. I don't know where it was that I made spelling errors, and I know that my writing isn't free of mistakes, but I don't understand how my spelling could be better.

Second of all, I'm sorry that it seems Belleruraina's name isn't very well liked. I liked it. I also didn't make it up myself. I got it from this site: .

Third of all, my story was two chapters in when I got the review saying that my story had been done many times before and that Belle was a Mary Sue. I don't understand either of these statements. I didn't think Belle was Mary Sue at all, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe she is. But I thought that, yes I have some common themes in my story, there were also some unique pieces to it. Yet, two chapters in, already it was being called cliché.

I take great pride in my writing and love to do it. I understand criticism. But I felt as though my story was ripped apart, and I don't think I can continue writing it.

Thanks to those who read the story and liked it.
