I’m already stronger. Rarrr!

Hope sales pick up soon, Mark, and you get lots of really good and bad reviews

I love that comment, Tony! It is very much how I feel very often.

I’d look at the glass half-full, Rachel. You GET feedback – cool. My current book – with Kindle Direct – might as well be buried in a locked trunk under Alacatraz. Not a single sale since its release in September, despite my PR. I’d pay someone to slag it off – at least they’d have read it. Anyway…such things can only strengthen you in future.

I hate feedback, be it after a gig when someone sidles up and says “You were alright, but that other fella was funnier.” or on a piece of writing when someone says “It goes on a bit doesn’t it?”
I feel like gripping them, shaking them and pushing them up against a wall and shouting “I don’t care what you think you moron!”
But I can’t, because I do care about what they think… the b*st*rds.
I’d love to follow them home, point at one of their children and say “He’s a bit ugly isn’t he?” or “Hmmm, fat and ginger? You must be gutted.” but I can’t, because that would upset them, just like it upsets me when they have a go at my work… my babies.

What ARE they up to, Denyse? I don’t see the point unless they are being helpful. I’m afraid some people really are just being malicious. I don’t understand it. I do wish they would get on with their own lives instead of trying to muck up other people’s

Thank you for this. I have been agonising over some bad reviews lately. One is perfectly reasonable and I don’t mind that review as it seems to be genuine but the rest seem to border on being malicious. I know I can’t please everyone but….*sigh*

It’s a shame when someone comments negatively on the meaning behind a poem rather than constructively on its text. *Hugs*, Rachel. x
