Writers - Readers : Who should Listen to Whom.

[BlackSpirit]

You make a very interesting point, BlackSpirit, but from a writer's perspective, my answer is: it depends. Sometimes we need to listen to valid feedback, and sometimes we absolutely have to ignore it to protect the plot.

I actually learned this the hard way. I listened to too many reader demands and it completely derailed my first story, forcing me to stop writing it. But I took that as a huge learning experience. Now, with my ongoing second story, 'கொழுந்தன் கொடுத்து வச்சவன்', I refuse to make that mistake again. I have a crystal-clear picture of the plot, the twists, and exactly how it will end. I intentionally ignore comments that try to deviate me from my original storyline because I want to give my readers a complete, well-planned experience, not just a '1 in 100 usual story.'

If anyone here is frustrated with stories that lose their track and wants to read something where the writer has a firm grip on the steering wheel, I invite you to come check out 'கொழுந்தன் கொடுத்து வச்சவன்'. The track is set!

Thanks for this i m also one of the victim fallen for the viewer comments and lost track and dropped my story..

Hope writter understand and tune himself...
