Thank you for all the replies (keep them coming.)
I know I shouldn't take Mr. Negative's words as seriously as I did; but sometimes he can be really nice - making me lose my guard - and then the next moment he brings me down with his negative attitude. It's actually true that he doesn't read a lot, he's told me on a many different occasions - he'd rather play computer games than read; that was one of his examples for people wanting to live their own adventures: by playing MMORPG games. I like to play such games, too; in fact, I'm been playing one way too often lately. And yet, I also love to read; I just finished a book last night.
I'm glad to know it's just his opinion about books, and not the rest of us. It really scared me, knowing how the world is going with technology, that maybe people really weren't interested in reading books for fun anymore.

I totally agree! I go on an adventure every time I sit down to write my books, and the negative remarks makes me want to write my stories better so they are worth reading.
At the moment I feel like maybe I'm being a brat for insisting on wanting writing books to be my career; with people telling me I should live in the 'real world' and not my 'fantasy world'. So I'm trying to live in
both worlds, earning enough money to promote my books. Must Stay Positive.
