This is why I do what I do.

No writer has ever said it enough, or will ever say it enough!

Thank you to the multitude of peeps out there who take the time to review our work.

It still amazes me, and I hope it always will, when I get a review. If it ever gets old, I truly think that’s when I’ll stop writing. Good or bad, I’m up for the challenge. Every single person has different opinions, and I’m willing to hear them all.

Does a negative review hurt? SURE!

No more than an honest critique though. And I have some awesome crit partners who aren’t afraid of telling me when I’m not doing my job!

But good or bad, there is something incredibly inspiring, energizing and rewarding by being in a position to receive critiques. As writers, we work our butts off to create something we hope everyone will love. Having it out in the world is both intimidating and gratifying at once. Having someone weigh in…priceless.

A good review though, can make any hard stuff go away.

So thanks!

Thanks for good reviews, bad reviews, and everything in between. Thanks for being a reader. Without you, where would we (as writers) be?

This is my youngest… Had to share. Reading is what every single person should be doing!

Happy reading or writing! And I’ll see you all on Saturday for Editor Shop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
