I wrote this yesterday, i think...

Yup, did it again.
Another bit of pr0n from the cracktrailer universe.
*hangs head in shame*
But have no fear! New 'Credence' tomorrow!

Truck Stop

My husband replied thusly:

Subject: cracktrailer universe, ugh...
....it just hits a little too close to home, with all the rabbit hutches and truck stops and meth. It makes me feel uneasy, the whole concept is just.. umm.. BLEH.
*shudder*
Write about nice, creepy, fantasy vampires and werewolves, that's fun!
*Don't* write about the people living down the road from me, PUH-LEAZE.

fond regards,

I deleted the comment, 'cause it really kinda bugged me. I can get not liking a genre/verse, but to say 'i don't like this, don't write it anymore' made me feel...like somehow, my writing got 'bad' when i wrote the other 'verse, and what i was writing there was worthless.

The deletion caused some upset.
So, i want some opinions. What do you, my fellow writers and addicts think of the post, and my deletion?
And my putting it back?

And, while we're on the subject... I love, love, love the 'ooh, that was great' feedback, but i welcome - i CRAVE - feedback that picks at my writing - that points out flaws and challenges my characterization and my word choices and my ideas.
Really!
'Changes' is the only think i've linked to my LJ that's beta'd - the other stuff get's once-overs by super-cool folks from time to time, but no formal beta, so please don't post back to me about all the comma mistakes i made, 'cause i KNOW how awful my punctuation can be...

But yes, i would love to see some feedback about all of the above.
Or, you know, just tell me shut up and write.
:)
