<\/p>\nGlass breaks.<\/p>\n

Well, that was a short post!<\/p>\n
It’s never fun getting a bad review. I don’t care how much people say it’s a learning experience or how we grow through facing up to the negative. Poppycock! That might be true eventually<\/em>, but at the beginning I find it just plain hard. That book was my baby. I nurtured it, fed it, held it in my arms until I released it into the cold, cruel world and I wanted nothing but good things to happen to it. And then some random person comes along and says it has no merit?? Where is that person? I have something to discuss with him (her).<\/p>\n But then I settle down and read the review again. Usually I find that the reviewer has a point in some small way. Maybe I didn’t<\/em> fully explain why the artist shot the armadillo, or perhaps I overplayed the role of the dance hall girl in my contemporary thriller. All things are possible. By then I can see where I need to do better in the next book.<\/p>\n And I guess people who say a bad review can be a learning experience are right after all\u2026<\/p>\n Read the next blog in the blog hop by going here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Thanks!
