I'm so inspired seeing you handle this. That isn't easy! Thank you so much for sharing this experience in your lovely, warm, humorous way to remove some of the fear for the rest of us :)
All great writers have one star reviews so you can now join that club! I love to read one star reviews of famous books. For me a one star review says more about the space the reviewer is in at that moment rather than any reflection on the work. I feel a three star is more hurtful. It’s more I was “meh” about this book. Didn’t love it. Didn’t hate it. 😬 Love or hate I need some emotion!! 😂
It's also easy to focus on the one negative comment compared to all the great ones you have received. I once read it's part of the human psyche to do that. The great thing though is that you are self aware, and your writing shows an understanding of a that. A lovely piece of prose which I could relate to. Keep writing!!! xxx
F**k ‘em. Move on. It’s entirely about them, not you.
Thanks Mark! I don’t think I have ever heard you swear. It made me laugh. 😆 Thanks for your kindness. Xx
I probably swore quietly when I realised how bad I was at Lindy-hop dancing :)
😆 If only we’d stuck at it, we’d be amazing now!
