I’ve received fan mail before, but this morning I received my very first hate mail.

Some guy named Richard decided to take precious time out of his important day to tell me how illiterate I am and that buying my books is a waste of money and an insult to his intelligence.

Books? I only have one published so far. WTF?

I remember reading a quote somewhere by Harlan Ellison, saying that you haven’t really made it as a writer until you start receiving hate mail.

Success here I come!
