I know some things about myself. My emotions are often influenced by the opinions of others on my creative work. A positive word can keep me buoyed for hours and a biting criticism can floor me for days. I know how ridiculous this is, and I have gone some way to learn to limit this effect. Still, I persist in being played by the whims of others.
Let me be clear. I don't allow these fluctuations in my mood to stop me from creating, even when a negative mood what I'm doing occasionally looks, or reads like crap.
I was thrilled to read a positive review yesterday. Another kind stranger who has given, what I think, a very accurate review of 'The Griefing'.
Here it is, straight outta Amazon:

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the wait..., May 13, 2013 By sonyamc - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: The Griefing (The Holocene Extinction) (Kindle Edition) This book is a big read, be warned that it's a slow burner. The first half is quite slow and borders on the self indulgent (avid readers will know what I mean!) Still has enough to keep you interested though. Just when I was ready to give up it took off like a rocket and left me wanting more. The imagery still hangs in my head at night....lol
Persevere with this one, it really is worth the wait.
Can't wait for number two.

Ok. Here is a picture inspired by a snipped of a friend's music that keeps assaulting me at inappropriate times. (The offending sample is the title of the image.)
