I have received reviews where the reader simply hated the book. That's not easy to take but, as a writer teacher of mine once said, "As a writer, love what you do, be courageous and stick your chin out. Somebody will probably take a swing at you. So be it, our job is to write." Or as my husband who trades in the stock market often says "The market's never wrong--traders are." In a sense, it's the same for readers. They're not wrong. Often an expectation was not met. They wanted an experience they didn't get--or they wanted to be transported by the book and it didn't happen. It doesn't make them wrong. That's how they honestly felt.<br />Finally, it one writes or does almost anything in this world, somebody is not going to like it. It's okay. Try to learn from all the reviews if you can and if you can't, then just get away from the writing for awhile--go for a martini or a fun night out with friends or your important other. Wake up the next day and get back to your writing. What's the alternative? To stop? No! Never! Stick your chin out! Haha. Have fun, enjoy the process and keep the books coming. (A bit long winded, yes, but I hope it helps) All the best with your writing, It's time for me to stick my chin out! -- ElyseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00986912003933520301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003938051771171981.post-26423626645277597212015-07-09T11:24:42.884+00:002015-07-09T11:24:42.884+00:00Do you read your reviews?
