“With all due respect, your tiny brain is a lot safer without my problems inside it” - Ash Williams (Ash vs The Evil Dead) Your audience are completely heartless.
Fact. Even if you sell pink fluffy teddy bears with hearts on them, it doesn’t matter, because all across the world there is one constant that remains: Your audience are completely uninterested in your problems. Granted, 99% of people aren’t actively trying to make your life miserable, they just have too much going on in their own lives to care. If you can’t provide the service the they are looking for, they will simply move on, without ever looking back. Even the reason why is completely irrelevant to them. Whether you’ve had logistical issues, material sourcing issues, or you’ve found The Book of The Dead, awakened a slumbering demon, and only a gruesome chainsaw-wielding rampage can stop them. It doesn’t matter. Your readers only care about two things; Jack and Shit, and Jack just left town. But this potential issue is very easily avoidable. Just don’t tell them your problems. Everything is doable. Everything is achievable. (Just don't let them think what you did was easy, but that's a discussion for another day). When you’re speaking there should be no ‘if’s, ‘maybe’s, ‘I believe’s or ‘in my opinion’s. These words imply that your audiences opinion is important. That you need them to agree with you. They give the reader the opportunity to doubt what you are saying. And they will find something, if you let them. So instead, be utterly unbreakable. Nothing can affect you doing exactly what you say you can do. Hail to the King, baby. - Mr Predictable
