I pity the women in Hollywood...every time someone puts on an ounce they call it a baby bump.

So true. I am appalled sometimes by the things people say about books. Where it really crosses the line is when the reviewers make comments about the author as a person. Just stick to the book and the writing. And try to be kind in your criticism if it is warranted.Kelley Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06373650788799372118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115704751652270450.post-15122229393904141982012-05-11T13:55:09.505-04:002012-05-11T13:55:09.505-04:00I don't read many reviews cuz I like my own op...I don't read many reviews cuz I like my own opinion just fine, lol.<br /><br />And a train of nuts?

I've heard of some authors doing this. I doubt I'll be able to stick with it, but who knows. Everyone has different tastes. It's guaranteed that not everyone will love your book (or mine.-- Pretty sure with the abortion topic in mine, there will be a lot of people who won't like it!). Stick with what you know...you've written a great story, and a professional in the publishing business felt you worthy enough to spend money on. Can't beat that! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
