I agree good comments/ reviews makes us feel good, and we can always keep the negative critic's opinions in our mind, and see whether there is some truth in what they say, and if possible/ feasible we can change for our own good.<br />I must congratulate you for your remarkable achievements.<br />You are right when you say, that you are realizing that you have come so far, and there are writers who are still struggling to get noticed. It is so easy to get carried away by success and take things for granted.<br />You are a good woman. <br />Thanks for stopping by my blog. Have a great day!Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-53487797899035571472012-07-07T01:11:22.558-07:002012-07-07T01:11:22.558-07:00Thanks Nicole.

You, me, Talli, the Year 8 pupil who spoke to me after a talk I gave recently at her school, and said she was writing a book, are all one and the same.

Love your car, love your blog, keep up the good work. I am a novice writer,less than a novice writer, and while I am not struggling to get into print, any form of feedback for an apprentice from the sorcerers, needs to packaged in a professional manner - such a way that it will not destroy the person's soul. Like a story or not, the artist needs respect. Its all creative energy flowing in action and deserves respect. I would draw the line at something like Mein Kampf.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788710628826048023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-56658315368883133572012-07-06T03:40:55.198-07:002012-07-06T03:40:55.198-07:00Well said, Carol.

But when it becomes personal, I think it crosses the line.Talli Rolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780882465745107715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-50846347017439549662012-07-04T00:46:34.309-07:002012-07-04T00:46:34.309-07:00Thanks fellow scribes.

The post came from a discussion with a young writer friend who has never been published, but keeps submitting to agents, publishers, going in for comps etc. and it just made me think maybe we don't appreciate how hard it is for those struggling to get on the ladder. Ok, remind me of this when my ebook gets slagged off!!!Carol Hedgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359578624109905400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-63414290198341942932012-07-03T21:58:42.562-07:002012-07-03T21:58:42.562-07:00Well said, on all fronts!Well said, on all fronts!Juliet Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18371021153879089044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-66593115877778285702012-07-03T13:13:17.491-07:002012-07-03T13:13:17.491-07:00Nice one Carol!

People are so different in the things they enjoy, it would be horrendous if we all liked the same things. I also remember starting Gone with the Wind and not being able to get on with it at all. The next year I happened to pick it up and couldn't put it down!Cara Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972751301677687055noreply@blogger.com
