Katrina (feistyscribe) got a comment chastizing her for a number of things, such as pursuing multiple creative outlets, and purportedly falling prey to the "you get'em girl" sentiment. there is something about this criticism that simply doesn't resonate with me.
but i as i read the comment in question, there are a number of assumptions that are simply false.
without going more into the specifics of the comment, who criticizes someone for wanting to enrich their own creative lives? my sense is that this commenter has a number of insecurities about her own accomplishments, and is displacing those on other people. the point of her entire project is to dis-prove everything that Another Girl at Play stands for. why are women not entitled to enjoy or explore different creative avenues and be enriched in them, regardless of whether they are "successful." i simply don't understand it.
