Never Give Up…

…Never Surrender!

While I still counsel all authors to handle rejections and bad reviews with grace and poise, I will also warn you to not let it hurt you too greatly. Entertainment, such as books and music and movies, is a very subjective creature. Not everyone will like everything. If you receive a bad critique while writing, take what you can to improve you work.

If you receive a bad review, don't take it too greatly to heart because you never know what someone else will think.

My example today is that I have a short story available (Anniversary) that one person liked so much, they wanted to put it in a print anthology. Today I saw that the same story received only two out of five stars on a review at Goodreads. You can never guess nor predict what someone will think, so write what you love, do your best to make the best story, but don't be disheartened if someone dislikes it.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
