I wanted a pair so bad, but my parents wouldn't allow it.

We all have preferences, and that's fine. It's kind of liberating realizing this: write to the reader you imagine will love your book, and be fearless in the process.Caroline Starr Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04597510685273079757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-39554389559232861992012-09-19T13:19:35.402-05:002012-09-19T13:19:35.402-05:00I read so many horror stories lately!

I think it's a good reminder that there are a lot of styles and tastes out there. <br /><br />Sidenote: yesterday I read a blog by an English mystery writer called Ben Aaronovitch who posted the one star reviews he got on his blog http://temporarilysignificant.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/whre-scalzi-leads-i-shall-follow.html and quoted John Scalzi: One-star (and otherwise negative) reviews happen. Accept them, own them, and then move on from them.<br /><br />Kinda like what you're saying, Hilary.Michael G-Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947421844294471304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-34930833762241550952012-09-19T09:36:00.628-05:002012-09-19T09:36:00.628-05:00"Create as though there are no critics."..."Create as though there are no critics."
