evaZee:
I hope dear that is taken down well, am not saying you should adopt another person's method of writing slow, my point is that too much information is making some people feel is their right or you owe them something if you don't update quick. Dnt misunderstand me. Well thanks for the Bible passage, took me back to New Testament this night.

I totally understand. It gave me cause to think and adjust some things. Thanks dear

crislyn:

I'm sorry Audrey....i know how comments like 'those' could kill one spirit but I hope it doesn't change your personality.

My dear, you know me well. It kinda killed my spirit but I'm okay now. She spoke her mind. At first i didn't want to take it to heart because i felt it was just her personal opinion but when she received likes, i had to pause. It made me feel foolish. While i was feeling like i was carrying everyone along, i didn't know people were viewing me as a woman who gave birth in the market place. (You know all and sundry sees her unmentionables   ) But it's alright. If i change my personality now, it means i have been pretending. Moderation and balance is the key. Let the inuslts and taking for granted continue but this is Audrey Timms for you. Thanks for caring.

thepatroit:

Busy looking for another writer to bring down?

Stalker you don reach here? Which state you dey now?

JeffreyJamez:


na wetin I see for your Fb page o ..Glad to know you are okay o

The thing tire me o.

My darlings, how we dey? Sorry for not checking in since. I was swarmped with work and i wanted to see how it felt just shutting you all out and not coming to say anything that was going on with me. Well, i don't think i fancy it. I was always having a nagging feeling, as if i was forgetting something. So i'm just going to take Loisemm's advice of moderation and balance. But this is Audrey Timms for you.

I have missed you guys plenty. I thank you all for your well-wishes and all.

thepatroit and evaZee, please let it go. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.

JeffreyJamez:
According to the Admin on her facebook page, Audrey isn't doing too well healthwise...y'all should put her your prayers to whatever God you serve.

I saw this comment and started laughing. Abeg which admin wan kee me? I just decided to take a break but unfortunately i didn't communicate it to them. I'm fine o. My eyes are fine. Na work no lemme see road. Thanks for caring.

mamawin:
my dear, good you gave him what he deserved, but d best thing is to ignore such ignoramus. Let him or her write a chapter, nothing. but, on the other side, you re a good story teller, you always make one wants more. you really tried. I've been trying to do the same for close to ten years now, but.. maybe tmro, and you know what they say about tmro, there's another one after d next. one day sha, one day....

Thanks dear. There's nothing to it. Just force yourself to sit one day with a pen and paper and go on from there.

mitchyy:


You are obviously just a channel for him to let out his frustration. Let him come over here to nairaland and spill this same rubbish. Silliness! That is how one writer here asked the mods to close her thread and she refused updating her story anymore when the insults became unbearable. They are only keyboard warriors but in reality, as powerless as a trapped mouse.
Pay these kind of joy-sapping comments no attention dear.

I for call you to come epp me finish the guy

vickkydgreat:




abi naa maybe dem dey pay her ni even if dem dey pay her sef dis apology is too much abeg audry mama dnt allow anybody 2 ridicule u jst because u entertained dem 4 'free' update wen u ar fit letting us knw u ar fine like nitefury,solomon nd so on is better wish u d best

Correction noted. Thanks dear

Loisemm:
Balance should be the key word here. Honour we the readers by giving us info about delays etc but cease apologising too much. Haba. Is it ur fault? The reason for delay and once in a while apology is okay plus letting us know u are ok. But overdo it and people will take one for granted. It happens everywhere. Not only on this thread or literature section.
U are the bomb, Audrey. We await this weekend's update if you are in a better condition to update. If not, pls its ok. If u can, just notify us politely. Do not apologise oooooooooooo. Be strong. You hv loyal followers already

Ooops! I didn't know i was overdoing the apology thingy. I won't explain why i was doing that in order not divulge personal info again but i just want to say i really hate disappointing people. But correction taken. Indeed familiarity breeds contempt; distance breeds respect. Thanks dear

crislyn:

seriously? SMH. the fact that you enjoy reading a story for years doesn't mean some of us do..the fact that you also can't see or appreciate the friendly atmosphere Audreytimms is trying to create here doesn't mean some of us can't see it or appreciate it. I for one appreciate the fact that she's humble enough to carry us along even going as far as sharing her challenges with us, it shows that she sees us other than just readers but something more.

My dear, don't be upset with her. She's airing her own views. I guess trying to recreate the family we had back then on the unfulfilled promises thread has backfired. I didn't know i was mixing with the wrong crowd. Lips sealed from now on but be rest assured that by His grace i will never prolong a story for that long. Next time i will make sure i complete the story before starting it here or elsewhere no matter how long it takes to write it. Thanks dear.

evaZee:
In my own opinion Audrey I think you give people too much information about your personal life and health details, just because you are writing, and want to please them, I simple note of unavailable or indisposed to post is enough rather than telling us every stage of your health, the truth is you have repeated same thing here that is almost cliche. To me is not necessary and should be left for closer friends and family. Some faithful followers here will wait till you are ready to update, of course we have a notification. I follow one story here in literature session, called "my husband" by falakkygal, that story will soon be 3years here and running, sometimes the author go like months without updating, yet we wait till she is ready because is a great story.

Oh really? Hmm...i can see in trying to be a different writer, putting myself in the shoes of my readers and trying my best to carry everyone along, i have thrown my pearls to pigs. I should have take John 2:24-25 seriously where it is said, 'But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, 25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.' I actually thought we were a family. Big lesson learnt. From now on i will reserve the title for those i share blood and names with. But sincerely, i cannot write a story here for three years o. I will never complete it. I find it hard going back to abandoned projects. Anyway, thanks for your observation and advise. I appreciate it.

Good morning, everyone. I hope we had a good night rest. I'll post in the evening. I have only Saturday mornings and afternoons to do my laundry and house chores. I explain and apologize a lot even in real life because i hate misunderstandings. I just want everyone to get along and live in peace. Keeping malice and quarrelling ruin my day and my ability to write so i avoid it at all cost. Thanking you.

and you're even pissed off about it lol

u alll 9jer online writers r realli dsame...u start a story. ..... beg for.comments.......wen people start reading nd commenting ......d next tin u start to giv diff form of excusses y u culd nt continue d story....is eider ur nose or eye or mouth etc.....u mak people to lost interest in d story....imagine,i was d one dat referred alot of my friends to follow ur story bt now av lost interest wit ur constant phcn write up.


Imagine after risking blindness and all the effort you put into updating and carrying everyone along, you get the above message on your facebook page. You sef no go vex? I joyfully cussed him out that day. This is just one of them o.

Incredibleme:
Aunty AudreyTimms!
Its Incredible ur Biggest fan. sorry i was away from nl for a long time so i didn't start this your new story with you. pardon me...
I've read the story so far and i must say u've got me addicted, i couldn't even make a comment till i read it all up. Your originality is awesome, and the plush of nigerian sarcasm is nice too. You've also introduced Nigerian proverbs! thats new...
Anyway, I pray you recover speedily.

I don't know if you still remember me though.

Of course i remember you. You were one of my first readers on the unfulfilled promises thread and ended up being one of my favourite. Thanks for the compliment. How you doing?

dauntless15:
hey everyone, its Jonathan the thread prefect, i was banned for close to a month now, all my mails to the nitwits in high places to unban me was futile, but thanks to common sense i figured a way past this, i have been a way for a while but i guess am back and i can see that audrey hasn't posted anything for a while now i guess its her health but I'll try to find out from her, because this is so unlike her, i hope she's okay

Thanks for the mail, thread prefect. Dauntless...hmm, i hope you are.

Good morning everybody. I trust we are all doing great. How are we enjoying the beautiful weather? Hmm...where do i start from? Okay. My utmost apologies for my silence. I really really had to stay off screens for awhile. I kept on having migraines and I didn't want to come online to give excuses all the time so i decided to keep silent until i was good and ready. I can say the eyes are better now because i no longer have migraines and my eyes are no longer red. It's obvious i really have to minimize viewing screens even with my eye drops and glasses which i have to put on all the time in order not to stress the eyes at all. In view of this, i will post Letting Go only on weekends. I want to rush it in order for me to rest my eyes for like a month or two before coming back with my next story. The next story will be on weekends only because i have received a lot of insults concerning Letting Go due to my inability to post constantly despite knowledge of the situation i am in. I hope we all understand. I apologize to all those who didn't get replies to their mails. Hubby tried in replying the ones he could. I'll try to reply the rest. Once again, thanks a lot for your love, patience, understanding and above all, your prayers. May God bless each and everyone one of you. Amen. Thanking you.

Good morning, beautiful people. How we dey? I went for checkup on Monday. I was told to stay off screens till i get my new set of glasses. I wasn't supposed to still be having migraines while using the eyedrops and glasses. So i was refracted for new ones. I just dey pray make dem no give me thick glasses like coke bottle this time around. I hope to get it tomorrow but we all know naija. So Letting Go continues next week. And for those suggesting i get someone to type for me while i say it, it just isn't the same. Besides, everyone around me is busy and it's only hubby and i at home. Had to take permission to type this because he isn't around at present. Migraine has humbled me. Please, please, please bear with me. Thanks for your patience, love, prayers and understanding. Thanking you.
