Reading reviews on Amazon is entertaining when you come across reviews that are hilarious and make you think “That’s not really a valid point to even put in a review”. Shopping on Amazon is always a task in itself from how much there is when you begin the day with the discussion along the lines of “I want something new to read” or “shopping for birthday presents….what fun we shall have!”, but regardless of that, I always end up examining reviews people leave on any given item that catches my eye.

A review I read today was for a “Discworld: Graphic Novel” that had one review with a comment of this person dissatisfaction came from the little point of writing “He didn’t draw the characters like how I envisioned it”. How do you even think that’s a valid point to make? We’re all part of one singular conforming entity, so if this artist failed to realise YOUR mental interpretation of text, then I’m sorry that he wasn’t part of your mind when it happened.

Conforming to one view of how we imagine the characters is what makes an artist job important, but that doesn’t mean you can make that a point in a review, because that’s like saying a cast in a live-action adaption of manga don’t look like their manga counterparts.

Note: If I’m boring you with this tirade of boring-ya, then leave and never utter a word of my failing to write something to help shape this world into something better *Failure pose*.

I never see a reason to complain on the whole “they don’t look like how I imagined it” I just don’t do that for one simple reason. Adaptions of any kind will always change certain items of the source material no matter what.

Thought of the Day: August 12th:

My writing is beginning to reform in my hands. I can feel the idea grow into its mature form. From a simple idea inspired by snow, fog and something much older in my mind and to be written onto paper….I only stand ready to type the words on the tip of my tongue or fingers.
