6 Reasons Not To Tick Off Writers

Writers are a little crazy at times, but we have our own reasons. We are constantly in our heads thinking up stories and ways to express ourselves. Here are a few reasons that ticking off people that are quiet and constantly contemplating (aka writers) is not the best idea.

1. It creates inspiration.

That is good for us but never for you. Every single moment that angers us, or impacts our lives in a crucial way we put towards our writing. I personally use every emotion that I have to inspire me, every moment to make my articles, stories, poems, etc. I use my emotions to make them better and make a connection with others. When our hands fly over a keyboard it means we’re driven and determined to talk about the topic, I hope that I am never the reason that someone is typing at least not maliciously.

2. Maybe you shouldn’t risk your name being EVERYWHERE.

Technology is everywhere we turn. At any moment something goes viral, and the next thing could be a story about you because you ticked off the wrong person. One story can be shared on hundreds of platforms, hurt a girl, we have fire, hurt a writer we’ll make your name and actions known. Want to be blackballed, and possibly have multiple people hate you because you managed to give one person enough anger or sadness to write about you, well there you are.

3. We are passionate.

Just like number two, we will make you known. But, our passion drives us and puts an extra momentum behind our choice to write about you or that friend that you stood by and watched bully someone for example. Maybe you view writers as hateful people that love to ruin lives or see us as annoying pests like paparazzi are to celebrities but in the end, we know where to hit send and that is one thing that you don’t want to be on the receiving end of backlash.


4. We don't back down.

Writers are used to the constant backlash and hate based on our openly blunt comments and what we do. You may think, “they’ll crack and the story will go away”, but it’s more often than not untrue. We have thousands of ways to say what we want, or express our emotions because of our chosen hobby or career path.


5. We are detectives.

Writers have to find information, and if you think you can hide something from us, you’re wrong. We are trained to find every possible piece of information for our articles. The drive we have to find reputable sources is unimaginable and that in and of itself helps us to track down the research we hope to find and maybe when angered even find your darkest secrets.


6. On the more imaginative side, we can always kill you off repeatedly.

Remember The Vampire Diaries, every character comes back to life and if you make us, we will do it to you given enough incentive and we can use the story as our means of outing your hateful ways to the world. There are endless ways of making one person disappear while continuing the story.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
