Re: hey there... (Reply to this comment)

Gosh thanks Sleeper! I hated that unGodly long URL and didn't know what to do about it.
And everybody else, much thanks too. The last time I was in that much pain I'd had my wisdom teeth removed.
Pamela, you are absolutely right. I have watched movies because they got terrible reviews. When I review something I try to explain where I'm coming from so that the reader can judge for themselves if they will like it.
Henry T, I am still proud of my accomplishment. Three Alarm Tenant was the first book I managed to finish. It's also done quite well among non-professional reviewers, not all of whom are family members of close friends so I can be proud of that too.
Thanks everybody. I needed the encouragement.

Candidly, I'm eminently unqualified to critique that particular genre, but I (and many others) know full well how it feels to have one's best creative efforts dissed by some influential entity who himself could never have written half so imaginatively or appealingly. "Pro" reviewers are, of course, fallibly human; their assessments of any given work often diverge; and more than a few once-powerful reviewers are today notorious for having panned obscure titles that eventually became classic.
Just do--and, above all, enjoy--your own thing and let the proverbial chips fall where they will. Besides, regarding any given writing project, the author's own (creative, inward) "journey" can seem fully as important (to the author herself) as the ensuing "real-world" acceptance or applause, if any. For example, I myself have been penning a lengthy, detailed "product review" that will be posted here at Epinions early next month. Even if nary a member rates or applauds it, I myself will nonetheless fondly remember it as one of my especially beloved brainchildren. Perhaps you will hereafter always feel somewhat that way about Three Alarm Tenant.

It looks good to me...not that I'm anyone to judge. It didn't seem to "vanilla" to me.

Any Review is Good! (Reply to this comment)
by thedragonweyr
The fact that your piece was even reviewed is fantastic. Forget about what the idiot had to say. Others will read it just because it was reviewed and many will end up thinking the original reviewer was a jerk.
There is no such thing as a bad review!
