message 51: by Christine (new)

Christine Hayton (ccmhayton) | 324 comments I have a great deal of trouble understanding all the fretting done over 1* reviews. To me writing is creative and artistic. Anyone who understands that, also understands that sometimes creativity and artistic ability do NOT produce the desired effect.

When an artist, or writer, receives honest comments about their work, they get a unique opportunity to learn and improve their technique - a fine-tuning of their talent.

Ego should never be the guiding factor when considering any review. The guiding factor has to be honesty.
