I’m just going to imagine myself as a princess in Germany who lives in a castle married to Prince Patton who is handsome and courageous and defends my honour by slaying the evil manipulative troll who lurks beneath the draw bridge. My hero.

If I ever get a book series rolling, I'm going to be just as bad.

I woke up this morning to anonymous hate from you in a review of shades of winter. I must say, reading your cruel acusation and hurtful jibes about not being a real writer was a fantastic way to start my day. For someone who claims to 'love' the story, you sure have a funny way of showing it. You hid behind anon, them slammed me for not updating fast enough. Then you accoused me of being an author who only 'spits out words when she feels like it'.... Well, yes. You are entirely correct. I should be apologizing! Pardon me that I have the audacity to actually wait until I have time and focus and creative energy to write. Pardon me for not just typing out a 1000 words of crap once a day just to keep you satisfied. Pardon me for actually trying to write quality chapters for THREE stories all at the same time. And finally, pardon me for having the gall to try to plan my wedding in what little spare time I actually have. You are totally right, little troll- I'm not a writer. I'm a real person with a life, a full time job, a house, a fiance, friends, pets, and that pesky wedding that's happening in under 3 months. I'm also a real person with feelings. The funny thing is, I have a great update for shades that I planned on posting tonight when I got home from work. Your hateful words and ignorant post made me not even want to update the story. Then I realized that the other 99% of the people that read that story would be disappointed and I wouldnt want to do that to them. Their kind, thoughtful, encouraging reviews helped me write when I was tired, busy, even writing when I was at work. It was because of them that I found the time and inspiration to push through and finish it. If there was a way to disappoint just you, evil troll, I would do it in a heartbeat. However, you decided to hide behind anon and not bother to give me a chance to defend myself. How noble of you! How really special that you decided to be such a coward. It doesnt take much guessing to know that you're probabally not an author yourself. I don't think anyone who writes can accuse another writer of not updating quickly enough. Writers understand how much time, effort, emotion, and work goes into a single chapter. I don't think another writer would do that. No, I think you're just what I've called you this entire time: a little troll. You click through stories and when you reach the last chapter posted, you get frustrated that the author didnt update fast enough for your taste. I bet you log out of your account (because actually leaving a review under your screen name is too mature) and happily type a demoralizing message of hate to the person on the other end, never giving it a second thought. Never picturing the look on their face as they read your cruel, disheartenig words. Never imagining the sinking feeling in their stomach as all of the hard work and kind reviews melt away until all that is left standing is your three lines of stupid, cowardly, anonymous hate is left and is all they can remember. You never imagine a real person reading your words and worst yet is you never imagine how crushing and heartbreaking they can be. You dont care. You dont care because you are a cruel, jealous, low-life troll that will forever hide behind that anonymous review. I can sleep at night because I know the words I post in the pages of my stories are sincere, lovingly flawed, and my own. I own up to the words I put out there for people to read. What about you?

Moffat is a CRAZY trolling man....
