Writing tip: don't respond to a bad review.

3/29/2011

45 Comments

 
And basic humanity tip: don't be a douche bag like this lady.

The carnage starts up in the comments, and if you have a few minutes and would like a laugh, I suggest you click through the 300 or so comments.  It gets weird. 

For all my writer-readers or potential writer-readers or just readers who don't want to find themselves in a quagmire of online controversy, never, ever ever respond to a bad review online.  That is simply a bear that should not be poked. 

Do like I do, listen to The Cure and eat Sun Chips until the pain goes away. 

Authors note:  Why won't you love me Kirkus?  Why!

[I have to say, I honestly don't understand how spam blog comments work. I mean, what are they trying to accomplish? On the plus side, they can be funny.]

In other (related-to-post) news, yea for more Ben posts! I will joyfully read anything you write, be it cat jokes, Steven Segal allusions, or novels. Special emphasis on the novels, as SU was hilarious and fun.

Go go, noveling blogger!

The negotiators appeared to be having a hard time defining what kind of cuts would occur at the end of the year 2012 if Congress failed to act on the committee’s recommendations.
